Business Contracts
A written contract is absolutely vital to the success of your business. As we know, times change, needs change, people change and memories fade, so make sure you get it in writing. No matter how well you get along with your partner, investor, employee, independent contractor or whatever the case may be, at some point there will be disagreements. A properly drafted Contract preserves the understanding of the parties as to rights and responsibilities, spells out who gets what benefit for what costs and even sets up a mechanism as to how a dispute gets resolved, how a contract can be terminated and under what circumstances.
An example of what not to do can be found in the recent Snapchat case. Its founders, two Stanford University students started the business with a handshake, ended up in court with millions on the line. One more word of caution: do not write your own contracts based on forms found on-line. Leave it to a competent attorney. It is so worth the money.
