CONTRACT LAW

Contracts are the proper beginning to any business relationship – be it employee - employer, seller - buyer, manufacturer – wholesaler, licensor – licensee or a myriad of other commercial relationships.  Contracts are the foundation of your business relationships and creating well-defined relationships will put your business on a smooth path towards success; that is why an experienced contract attorney is an essential aspect of creating a successful business entity.  Often the best way to avoid litigation is to have a well-drafted contract. On the other hand, you should fully understand your rights and obligations before you sign any legal instrument. Jafari Law Group, Inc. can help your business avoid potential legal pitfalls by drafting, vetting or negotiating contracts in a variety of areas.

• SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS - Although TV shows don’t make this seem true, very few disputes ever see the inside of a courtroom – they are settled via a Settlement Agreement.

  When a dispute occurs, the good lawyer prepares as if trial is inevitable.  But, when preparation is complete and your arguments are convincing, the other party will often be willing to settle the matter rather than go through with trial.  If you have a dispute and you engage an attorney, there is a much greater likelihood that the dispute will end with the signing of an agreement between the parties, not a jury’s verdict.  And when that time to settle comes, the quality of the settlement agreement will be as important as anything that has come before. 

  OUR ATTORNEYS WILL HANDLE YOUR MATTER FROM START TO FINISH, FORMULATING STRATEGIES AS IF A TRIAL IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME; BUT OUR ATTORNEYS WILL ALSO CREATE A STRONG AND PROTECTIVE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IF AN AMICABLE NEGOTIATION CAN RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTE PRIOR TO TRIAL.  Our attorneys are experienced in drafting these important dispute resolution documents and they will usually help you save time and money in the long run.

  A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS ALSO IMPORTANT WITHIN SMALLER DISPUTES BETWEEN PARTIES THAT HOPE TO CONTINUE THEIR RELATIONS AFTER A DISPUTE CONCLUDES - such as employers and employees where future employment is intended, neighborly relations, members of the same community/small industry, friends and even family members.  Too often relationships end earlier then they should because everything has not been put on the table and considered – a well-drafted Settlement Agreement helps instigate discussion about all the concerns of the parties and can give an issue closure that is often not had in a handshake and a fake smile.

  If you believe a dispute is just beginning, or you need assistance in obtaining closure in an ongoing matter, please contact one of our contract attorneys at 877.821.9216.
