DuPage County Attorneys for Business Contract Drafting

Skilled Contract Drafting and Review Lawyers Serving Glen Ellyn, Elmhurst, and Throughout Illinois

Businesses encounter written agreements during every phase of operation. These agreements involve issues such as determining the role of owners, members, directors, employees and independent contractors, terms of service and payment with outside vendors, and clearly outlining the expectations and obligations of the business and the customer. Many written agreements are complex and can be difficult to understand. To ensure each contract you execute fully protects your interests and mitigates risks of liability and non-performance, it is important to work with experienced contract drafting and review attorneys.

Clear and Enforceable Contract Drafting

There are two primary elements of a well-drafted business contract:

The contract must be worded so the obligations of all parties are clearly spelled out.
The contract should comply with governing laws and regulations so as to remain enforceable.

We regularly practice in Illinois courts, and we have extensive knowledge of how these agreements are practically applied in the commercial litigation context. Knowing how an agreement will be viewed at the enforcement stage allows us to foresee problems and recommend language to ensure that the parties' contractual rights and obligations are clearly spelled out, so as to lessen the risk of needing to litigate such matters after the fact. Our attorneys’ knowledge also gives our clients peace of mind knowing that their documents are likely to hold up in court should the need arise.
