February 08, 2008 - Protect Your Business in 2008
Almost all economic forecasts for 2008 are pretty grim, with oil and food prices set to rise, the credit crunch set to continue and house prices falling.
In the law, whenever the corporate boys run low on work, the litigators and insolvency practitioners start to get busy. So if, as predicted, things get a lot tougher, there is going to be more likelihood of business failures, bad debts and contract disputes.
ContractStore.com has been set up to help you put decent contracts in place to protect you in the coming times: a properly drafted contract does for business what a well-tiled roof does for a house.
Legally binding contracts form the basis of every healthy business relationship, and at ContractStore.com you can find all kinds of ready-made business contracts - written by lawyers, but at a fraction of the cost.
Professionally drafted contracts protect you in your dealings with other people, give your business a professional, established image when you use standard terms for buying and selling goods and services and help you meet legal requirements - in particular with regard to employees and the regulatory and tax authorities.
Business relationships are made up of a whole range of different associations - between a business and its suppliers, customers, representatives, agents and distributors. In addition, a business will sometimes enter into a joint venture with another company to bid for, or carry out, a project. ContractStore.com provides all kinds of business contracts designed to establish and manage these alliances.
Moreover, importantly, almost every business will require legally binding employment agreements, and ContractStore.com supplies employment contracts for every situation from part-time workers to overseas posting. Also available is the Staff Handbook - a 30 page document in 27 sections setting out the rights and duties of both employer and employee and the employer's policies and procedures in relation to all personnel matters, including disciplinary and grievance procedures.
ContractStore.com also provides additional legal services for a more bespoke service, including :-
- Legal document tailoring when you have circumstances that require particular extra consideration
- Custom Legal Documents with new legal document templates can be prepared on request. This is not a tailoring service as Contractstore.com will aim to make a new template contract available to all.
- Checking Your Legal Document by highly experienced lawyers to make sure it will be right for your needs
As another useful resource, ContractStore.com also offers useful free information on a variety of legal topics for business and construction. This complimentary information covers numerous subjects from a Checklist for a Shareholders Agreement to Preparing a Business Plan to Running Your Own Limited Company.
Each of the lawyers who produce the contracts for ContractStore.com, has expertise in different areas of commercial and construction law. Between them they have over 150 years of experience in drafting contracts.
