TEXAS CONTRACT ATTORNEYS

Contracts make the business world go round. Contracts contain the promises between the contracting parties which govern the terms of their relationship with respect to the goods or services to be provided, compensation to be paid or received, circumstances under which the contract remains in effect and other obligations by which the parties must abide. Contracts can be written or oral. Verbal agreements can be just as binding as written agreements in many circumstances. Contracts allow businesses to plan their future needs and therefore there is an expectation when entering into a contract that the promises made will be kept.

Unfortunately, if you are a party to enough business contracts, eventually you will find yourself in a contract dispute with the other contracting party no matter how carefully the contract was prepared. This can be because the business, partner or customer you entered a contract with simply refuses to honor its promises or because there is a dispute about the meaning of a contractual provision.

A seemingly simple contract dispute is often much more complex than it appears on its face. While you may be able to resolve the dispute without resorting to litigation, the courts are available to enforce your contractual rights if negotiation fails to resolve the matter. It is important to seek the help of experienced attorneys to protect your rights as soon as possible after your contract dispute arises.
