FAQ

Lesson Summary A contract is a legal agreement between two or more parties in which they agree to each other's rights and responsibilities. Offer, acceptance, awareness, consideration, and capacity are the five elements of an enforceable contract.

Under California Business and Professions Code section 6450 (b) paralegals are not permitted to: Give legal advice. Represent a client in court. Select, explain, draft, or recommend the use of legal documents to or for any person other than the attorney who directs and supervises the paralegal.

Legally binding contracts can be done both in writing or orally. However, when it comes to business transactions, it's best to have the majority of your contracts in writing.

Typically, a document that includes an offer, acceptance, and appropriate consideration will be considered legally binding. In most cases, a contract is binding in Arizona even if the parties signed it in another state.

The short answer is no. A lawyer is not required to draft a contract for a business or an individual. In fact, anyone can draft a contract. Although this is the case, it's not necessarily the best strategy.

Signing a document without fully comprehending the terms or your rights is dangerous. It can lead to significant unintended consequences and time-consuming legal battles.
