The problem with legal documents is that they are written to be enforced, not to be read. A document can be perfectly clear to the court and still not mean what you assumed it meant when you signed it, and that gap is worth an attorney’s time before rather than after.
Whether the need is personal or for a business, you should never create or sign a legal document without an attorney’s advice. Contact our offices at (800) 497-0018 if you need help with any of the following or with other documents.
Reviewing and preparing contracts
A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties in which all sides agree to take or avoid specific actions. Contracts are only legally binding if they contain these four elements:
- Offer
- Acceptance
- Intention of legal consequence
- Consideration
At The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates we can help with any and all contracts including:
- Sales contracts
- Purchase sale agreements for businesses
- Real estate contracts
- Employment contracts and noncompete agreements
- Shareholder and partner agreements
Your attorney can help with every step of the contract process, from negotiating to review and through to the final steps to ensure the contract is legally enforceable.
Reviewing and preparing leases
If you are a property owner and plan to lease your property then you should speak with an attorney before creating a lease. The one-size-fits-all lease templates you can find online do not address the specifics of your property and they may not be legally binding. Consulting with an attorney to create your lease can save you time and money in the long run.
If you are leasing real estate or other real property then it is wise to consult with an attorney before doing so. California has very specific laws regarding leasing and what can be included and enforced in a lease document. You need someone who has your best interests in mind to review your lease. That someone is The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates.
