Pacta sunt servanda...

Agreements must be honored

In an agreement between two or more parties, general contract law applies. As an entrepreneur, you deal with contract law daily—more often than you might realize. It is important to put agreements clearly and explicitly in writing to prevent future issues. Unfortunately, this often goes wrong in practice. The principle of "Pacta Sunt Servanda" (agreements must be kept) is sometimes disregarded, and if nothing is documented, you have a problem. As an entrepreneur, you will frequently need to consider both the large and small print in contracts. A legal dispute can arise faster than you think, and it’s reassuring to have a lawyer in the background who can advise you or, if necessary, represent you in the forefront. Whether drafting and reviewing contracts or litigating over them, you’ve come to the right place. Our contract law lawyers frequently handle court cases and can provide you with adequate legal advice.
