Contracts

Every state in this country has laws related to contracts. Tennessee contract law is complex and you should consult with an attorney before signing a contract.

The law requires most contracts to have four basic elements: mutual consent, capacity, legality, and consideration. A contract that does not fulfill all of the requirements under Tennessee contract law may be invalid. This is one of the main reasons you need an experienced contract attorney to draft and/or review a contract before you sign. Our contract lawyers provide comprehensive contract services to ensure your contract meets Tennessee law.

Our contract lawyers have extensive experience handling all matters related to contracts for individuals and businesses. Whether it is a business-to-business contract, a contract between individuals, or a contract between an individual or employee and a business, our contract lawyers can assist with:

• Drafting the Contract 
• Contract Negotiation 
• Contract Review 

Our contract attorneys have the skills and knowledge you need when negotiating a contract with another person, company, or employer. We take the necessary steps to ensure your interests and rights are protected. Do not leave yourself, your family, your business, and your personal assets at risk by entering into a contract without an attorney by your side.

Types of Personal Contracts

Contracts between individuals protect the legal rights of both parties and reduce the risk of litigation. However, if litigation is initiated due to a contract dispute, having a well-drafted, comprehensive contract by an experienced contract attorney can increase the chance that the dispute will be resolved in your favor. Examples of personal contracts that our attorneys handle include:

• Real estate contracts
• Rental and/or lease agreements
• Service agreements
• Employment contracts
• Cohabitation agreements

Types of Business Contracts

Almost every business is required to enter contracts in order to conduct business. Business law governs contracts between two businesses or an individual and a business. Examples of business contracts our attorneys handle include:

• Real estate contracts
• Buy-sell agreements
• Employment contracts
• Service contracts
• Commercial leases and rental agreements
• Non-compete agreements
• Shareholder agreements
• Operating agreements
• Equipment leases

Before you bind yourself to the terms in a contract, you want to make sure the terms are fair to you and protect your best interest. Disputed contracts can cost time and money in lengthy litigation battles that can result in specific performance of the terms of the contract or damages for breach of contract. Avoid problems by hiring the right contract attorney from the beginning who will look out only for you and your interests.
