Why do I need a lawyer to review my contracts?

Whether written in plain English or “Legalese,” contracts are complex documents and  anyone considering signing one can benefit from an experienced attorney pointing out both the meaning of what is written, and the importance of issues left unwritten.  In the event of a contract dispute, the plain language of the contract controls, and no verbal promises are likely to be considered by a court. Understanding the subtle implications of a legal document is as intricate and serious as a radiologist’s ability to read an X-Ray, or a plumber being able to find the leak in a pipe.  An undiagnosed problem within a written agreement can bankrupt a company.

How can Wheelhouse Legal help with my negotiations?

We understand the pitfalls that companies face, are fluent in the language of contracts, and adept at reading and drafting clauses and entire agreements.  By supplying an initial draft of a contract within the context of a negotiation, your company can set the tone for many of the terms; with your prospective partner picking and choosing the issues that they wish to negotiate, others that you may consider to be crucial can be decided in your favor by default and without corresponding concessions.  When you are, instead, attempting to modify a contract, having the ability to supply the replacement language, with our reasonably-priced assistance, could save you exponentially more in the long run.
