Frequently Asked Questions 

 

1. What is the difference between contract drafting and contract review?

 

Contract drafting involves creating a new legal agreement from scratch, tailored to your specific needs and goals. Contract review, on the other hand, involves examining an existing contract that has been presented to you before you sign it. Both services are valuable — drafting ensures your agreement says exactly what you intend, while review helps you understand what you are agreeing to and identify any terms that may put you at a disadvantage.

 

2. Why should I have an attorney review a contract before I sign it?

 

Contracts are legally binding documents, and signing one without fully understanding its terms can lead to costly disputes, financial loss, or unwanted obligations down the road. An experienced contract attorney can identify hidden clauses, unfair terms, or missing protections that may not be immediately obvious to someone without a legal background. A contract review is a relatively small investment that can save you significant time and money in the long run.

 

3. What is a breach of contract, and what are my options if it occurs?

 

A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as outlined in a legally binding agreement. Depending on the nature and severity of the breach, your options may include negotiating a resolution, seeking financial damages, or pursuing legal action. Having a well-drafted contract from the start is one of the best ways to protect yourself, as it clearly defines each party’s responsibilities and the remedies available if those responsibilities are not met.

 

4. Do I need a contract for hiring independent contractors or employees?

 

Yes, having a written agreement in place for both employees and independent contractors is strongly recommended. A clear employment or contractor agreement outlines the scope of work, compensation, confidentiality obligations, and other key terms that protect both parties. Without a written contract, disputes over job responsibilities, payment, or ownership of work product can be difficult and expensive to resolve.

 

5. What should be included in a Non-Compete Agreement?

 

A well-drafted non-compete agreement should clearly define the geographic area, the duration of the restriction, and the specific types of competitive activities that are prohibited. It should also be reasonable in scope — overly broad non-compete agreements may be difficult to enforce under Oklahoma law. Our firm can help draft or review a non-compete agreement that is fair, enforceable, and tailored to your specific business needs.
