Contracts—a common need of small businesses in Texas

A contract is an exchange of promises between two or more parties and is legally enforceable either in a court of law or by binding arbitration.  Contractual agreements define and establish obligations.  The foundation of contract law is the principle of fairness—that, by nature, an agreement should be kept.  When the terms of an agreement are violated, it is called a breach of contract.  The federal and Texas laws that govern contracts authorize the governing body to recognize the breach and to mandate a remedy. An attorney from our Dallas business law firm can aid you with contract enforcement issues. Read about our contract law practice and how it affects small businesses.

Dallas small business arbitration

While our small business attorneys are skilled in the Dallas courtroom, the expense of being a plaintiff or defendant in court can be an overwhelming prospect to the smaller business owner.  Fortunately, you have affordable alternatives when your lawyer is skilled in alternative dispute resolution.  

Arbitration—a  form of alternative dispute resolution—is a legal process for resolving disputes outside the standard litigation process.  In arbitration, the parties in dispute agree to negotiate a settlement facilitated by a neutral third party, who is called the arbitrator.  Before entering into the arbitration, the parties agree to be bound by the award decision of the arbitration facilitator. Contact us if your small business needs help with alternative dispute resolution solutions such as mediation and arbitration.
