We Provide Legal Support for These Types of Agreements

Business contracts are essential tools for defining the rights and obligations of parties engaged in a commercial relationship. Our team is equipped to handle disputes involving:

Sales Contracts: These agreements govern the sale of goods and services, outlining terms like price, delivery, and payment conditions.
Employment Contracts: These documents establish the terms of employment between an employer and an employee, including salary, job responsibilities, and benefits.
Partnership Agreements: Designed to clarify the roles, contributions, and profit distribution among business partners, these contracts are crucial for preventing disputes.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): These contracts protect sensitive information shared between parties, ensuring confidentiality in various business dealings.
Lease Agreements: These contracts outline the terms for renting property or equipment, including rental amounts, duration, and responsibilities for maintenance.
Service Agreements: Typically used when one party provides services to another, these contracts specify the nature of the services, fees, and performance expectations.
Franchise Agreements: These legally binding contracts define the relationship between a franchisor and franchisee, detailing fees, training, and operational standards.

Understanding The Basics Of Business Contracts

Every enforceable business contract must include the following key elements:

Offer and Acceptance: One party makes an offer, and the other accepts it. Both must agree to the same terms.
Consent of Free Will: Each party must choose to enter the agreement voluntarily. No one can force or pressure the other into signing.
Consideration: Both parties exchange something of value, such as money, products, or services. Without this exchange, the agreement becomes a gift, not a contract.
Competent Parties: Each party must be mentally capable of understanding the agreement. They cannot be minors, impaired by drugs or alcohol, or mentally unfit at the time of signing.
Legality: The agreement must involve a legal purpose. Courts will not enforce contracts made for illegal activities.

What You Need to Know About Breach Of Contract

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to meet the terms of an agreement. This failure can take different forms depending on the severity and timing of the violation. A material breach is a serious violation that affects the core purpose of the agreement and may make continuing impossible. In contrast, a minor breach involves a small deviation that doesn't significantly disrupt the contract.

Other types include an actual breach, where a party outright fails to perform their obligations as promised. There is also an anticipatory breach, which happens when one party clearly indicates in advance that they will not fulfill their duties.

Legal Remedies for Breach Situations

You may have several legal options if a party breaches a contract. One is damages, which provide financial compensation for your losses. Another is specific performance, where the court orders the other party to follow through on their obligations. You may also seek cancellation with restitution. As defined by Cornell Law School, this remedy restores you to your original position before the agreement.

Nevada law sets strict deadlines for filing claims. You have six years for written agreements and four years for oral ones. If you miss these deadlines, you could lose your right to take legal action. Contact a contract attorney promptly to protect your business.
