Legal Review of a Contract Before Signing

A contract review should answer practical questions: what each party must do, when payment becomes due, what proves performance, what happens after delay and how the relationship can be terminated. Unilateral changes, automatic renewal, penalties, liability limitations and dispute-resolution clauses deserve special attention.

Practical approach

Before signing or filing documents, the specific situation should be assessed because the required steps depend on the subject matter, documents and parties involved.
