Where to begin
A contract is a written picture of what the parties expect. Before looking closely at the wording, establish who will do what, by when, and in return for what.
What to consider
Read the parties, scope, timing, payments and arrangements for changing circumstances together. Make a list of unclear phrases and unanswered questions to bring to the review.
The next step
Gathering earlier drafts, correspondence and related agreements is a useful starting point for a more focused legal conversation. Review the final document in the real context of the working relationship.
This note offers general information. A legal assessment of any matter depends on its particular circumstances and documents.
Have another question?
Describe it in your own words. You do not need to know its legal name to begin.
