Save a Fortune on Agreements and Contracts

Almost everybody has to deal with contracts and agreements in their adult life. Being it employment, leases, rental, sales, marriage (and divorce), etc - at some point we have to sign on the dotted line.

If in business, the list grows even longer.

As soon as we have to have something 'checked' by a lawyer or solicitor - well - it becomes rather expensive. Here are some simple steps to keep costs down.

Steps

  1. Search for 'Contract Checking Service' in any established search engine.
  2. If your contract or agreement is for a student and/or 'student accommodation' related, look out for the relevant university. Almost all universities (UK only) offer a free service for their students via their websites.
  3. Any other contracts, incl business - see Step 1. Note: Contract checking services are ONLY checking/amending contracts and agreements - they do not draft/create. Meaning: You have to find/download a 'template' via the Internet and fill in your relevant details. See *Tips* below for further instructions.
  4. Once decided which contract checking service is best for your purpose, let them do the work. Prices are usually not more than $100/£50 or equivalent in relevant currencies. A lot less than a solicitor's or law practice which can easily go up to 1000s.

Tips

  • Different countries have different laws. Check that you choose a service provider for your country - i.e. *.com (US) - *.co.uk (UK) and so on.
  • Most contract checking services have links to free or low cost contract template websites. Some offer free templates on their sites.
