Are You Looking for a Business Contract Lawyer?

Dealing with contracts are intricate matters in which individual parties can have differing interpretations of the law.

Did you know that Unilateral Contracts (where just one side promises something – for example, a promise of a reward) can be enforced?

How about oral contracts? They are legal as well and are matters that Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt can assist you with. We also handle contracts of sale, construction contracts, rental contracts, contracts of employment, distribution contracts, service contracts, leasehold, non-competition and partnership contracts.

Pretty much anything that is signed for, shaken on, or nodded to is a contract and something we can provide assistance with.

Contracts – Hutchison Oss-Cech Marlatt knows how to make them, how to interpret them and how to unravel them when the time comes.
