Contracts are promises that the law will enforce. The law recognizes the performance of a promise as a duty, and provides remedies if a promise is broken.

Contracts are mainly governed by state law, common (judge-made) law and private law. Private law principally includes the terms of the agreement between the parties who are exchanging promises. This private law may override many of the rules otherwise established by state law. Statutory law often requires certain contracts be put in writing and executed with particular formalities.

It is critical that all contracts be thoroughly reviewed and fully understood, before you enter into an agreement. Regardless of what may have been said or implied verbally in advance of a contract being drawn up, what is written in the contract is what the law will enforce. The value of having an attorney review your contract is primarily to make sure you fully understand what you are getting into when you sign the contract. They can explain the different provisions, compare the provisions in the contract you are about to sign to what are considered “best practices” in the industry, and tell you how the courts have interpreted similar provisions in other cases.
