Business Contracts

Acting as general counsel to small businesses and entrepreneurs, the Proy Law Firm can take a bird's-eye view of your small business' contracts.  Also, if you are being sued for breach of contract, we may be able to help.  The Proy Law Firm can review and enhance your contracts to better protect you and your small business in the event of a breach of contract.  If you have a small business, you should have a small business lawyer who deals with business contracts on a daily basis.

Common Business Contract Mistakes:

(1) Many small business owners wait until they are sued for breach of contract or turned over to a collection agency until they look closely at their contracts.  The Proy Law Firm encourages clients to mail, fax or e-mail every contract for review before it is signed and executed.

(2) A misplaced comma, period or misspelling can cause serious problems if a contract dispute arises.  Properly handling business contracts requires a painstaking attention to detail.  For example, look at the difference a comma makes in these two contract clauses:

          (a) "Buyer agrees to pay to seller, Joe, and Peter each $1,000 at

          settlement."  This clause reads that the buyer will pay to (1) a seller

          named Joe and (2) Peter each $1,000 at settlement.

          (b)"Buyer agrees to pay to seller, Joe and Peter each $1,000 at

          settlement."  This clause reads that the buyer will pay (1) the seller, (2)

          Joe and (3) Peter each $1,000 at settlement.
