Questions clients ask

General information only — not legal advice for your situation. Speak to an attorney about your matter.

Should my business agreement be in writing?

In most cases, yes. A written agreement records exactly what was agreed and is much easier to enforce. Some agreements — such as the sale of land — must be in writing to be valid.
