When do you require a contract attorney?
The contract determines who will bear the risk, when performance is due, what happens if something goes wrong, and who will decide. Minor formulations in sanctions, liability, or governing law can alter the outcome of the entire transaction or tax liability. Instructing an attorney with industry expertise to prepare or review a contract is particularly worthwhile when a higher value is at stake, in a recurring business relationship, or when it concerns a regulated activity.
