How not to draft a business contract

On Behalf of Jones & Walden, LLC | May 22, 2020 | Business Formation And Litigation

When it comes to protecting the future of one’s business interests, whether you have intentions for a partnership in an LLC or a different type of entity, it is easy to jump to conclusions about how a contract should read. After all, contracts are there for our benefit and security, aren’t they?

While there are likely several ways your approach to a contract may disrupt business matters and partnerships, note to avoid these mistakes when approaching yours:

  • One-sidedness: A quick way to run into a contract dispute or lose business is to make the contract all about your needs. Contracts are meant to be mutually beneficial for all involved parties.
  • Lazy language: The language in your contract should be concise but detailed enough to cover all specific legal and administrative matters involved in your partnership or transaction. Ambiguity is never a good choice when it comes to contracts.
  • Do not revise: Stay up to date on economic and technological changes that your business demands. Contracts should be updated on a case-by-case basis and done so carefully.
  • Ignore priorities: You cannot have it all. But you can get to the point on what matters most. Protect your interests best by prioritizing the right aspects of your business matters.
  • Do not consider the law: A contract that does not adhere to Georgia state or United States federal laws serves little purpose. Your company could be shut down in the blink of an eye if you are not following the law.

Businesses are virtually useless without the protection of thorough agreements. Ensure your future is safe by doing what you can to protect your company.
