Los Angeles, CA business attorney Johnathan M. Deer talks about the important considerations in reviewing business contracts to avoid disputes. He emphasizes that when reviewing a business contract, it’s important to ensure it tells a complete story, so that anyone reading it—someone unfamiliar with the deal—will have the same understanding as the parties involved. All terms of the agreement should be clearly recited in the contract, leaving no room for ambiguity. He notes that clients often take risks by cutting corners—writing deals on the back of a napkin, relying on a handshake, or drafting something themselves—because if a dispute arises, the lack of clarity can lead to differing interpretations.
