Common questions

Questions clients ask about contract drafting & review

What makes a contract binding?

Generally offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity and intention to be bound, with formalities such as writing and consent required for certain transactions like land.

Should I sign an agreement without a legal review?

We advise against it. Agreements signed without review frequently contain obligations that were never understood or intended, and renegotiating later is far more expensive.

Are electronic agreements valid?

Electronic communications and agreements are generally recognised, subject to evidential formalities. Documentation of the exchange is important.

What happens if the other party breaches the contract?

Remedies can include damages, specific performance, termination rights and, where the contract provides, alternative dispute resolution. The contract and facts determine the route.

These answers provide general information only and are not legal advice. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence and applicable law of each matter.
