Contract law is a vital part of business law and impacts on both individuals and businesses (employment contracts being just one example). At Darlingtons, we appreciate that standard, unadapted contract templates are readily and cheaply available from many sources, but there are dangers in simply buying contract templates or agreements. We have an extensive, adaptable range of contracts and agreements of all types. Our approach is to assist our clients in adapting contract templates for each client’s bespoke needs, whilst always understanding that practicality, commercial considerations, and cost/benefit considerations will always be paramount for our clients. We can help with any type of business contract, whether employment contracts, terms and conditions or any other type of commercial contract or agreement
What are the basics of a contractual relationship?
In order to form a contract, the essential elements are:
1. offer
2. acceptance
3. consideration, which is a promise, an act, or a promise not to act and represents the value in the contract
4. capacity i.e not bankrupt and an adult
5. intention to create legal relations
