Our Naperville contract attorneys discuss the process of having your contract reviewed by an attorney in this companion article.
We discuss how having your contract reviewed and negotiated by an attorney can be a cost-effective way to prevent breach of contract litigation and to protect your rights. Having your contract reviewed is affordable and may save you money in the long run by preventing an unfair or ambiguous contract that is likely to lead to expensive disputes.

In this article, our Naperville contract lawyers discuss common ways to get out of a dissatisfying contract. This may include utilizing legal defenses for breach of contract claims, such as material breach by the other party to the contract, duress, anticipatory, unconscionability, fraud, impracticality. We also discuss ambiguities in the contract, statutes that make certain contracts invalid and other loopholes that may help you get out of a contract without being liable to the other party for breach.

In this article, our Naperville contract attorneys discuss why it is important to include an enforcement clause in all of your contracts.
An enforcement clause provides that if a dispute arises between the parties to the contract, the winning party will pay the losing party's attorney fees and court costs. This is important because it prevents frivolous litigation by putting the loser on the hook for the winner's attorney fees. It also makes meritorious litigation economically feasible by increasing the amount that can be sought in damages.

Yes — oral contracts are legally enforceable in Illinois if they meet the basic requirements of contract formation: offer, acceptance, and consideration. However, certain types of agreements must be in writing to be enforceable under the Illinois Statute of Frauds (740 ILCS 80/2), including contracts for the sale of real estate, agreements that cannot be performed within one year, and contracts for the sale of goods over $500. Proving the terms of an oral contract is significantly more difficult than proving a written one. Supporting evidence such as emails, text messages, invoices, course of dealing, and witness testimony can all help establish that an oral agreement existed and what its terms were. When possible, always commit important agreements to writing.
Before signing any significant contract in Illinois, pay careful attention to: the scope of obligations on both sides (what each party must do, by when, and to what standard); payment terms (amount, timing, and consequences of late payment); termination clauses (how and when either party can end the agreement); dispute resolution provisions (whether disputes go to arbitration or litigation, and in what jurisdiction); limitation of liability clauses (which cap the damages either party can recover); intellectual property ownership (who owns work product created under the agreement); and non-compete or non-solicitation restrictions (which can limit your future options). Having an attorney review a contract before you sign is far less expensive than litigating a dispute after the fact.
