Melbourne Contract Lawyers That Fight For You
A contract is an agreement. Whether formally written or just a quote scribbled on the back of an envelope, it’s still a contract. And, if need be, it may be enforced in court. That’s why businesses, whether big or small, rely on contracts to protect all parties in an agreement.
What does a contract lawyer do exactly? Contract lawyers can provide many services, including:
- Drafting and preparing new contracts for the client. The last thing your business needs is a long, drawn-out contract dispute. The best cure is prevention. This is why each contract term needs to be clearly specified so that it is enforceable and not vague or ambiguous.
- Reviewing any contracts and legal documents presented to the client by other parties.
- Interpreting any legal clauses so that the client fully understands them and what their obligations are under the contract.
- Negotiate commercial and employment contracts to safeguard your interests and rights.
In addition, Rosendorff’s experienced contract law team can help you with building contracts, partnership agreements, service agreements and many more.

How Rosendorffs Contract Lawyers Can Help
Have you ever received a contract where you’ve been uncertain about what some of the clauses mean? Or they don’t say what you were expecting? Whether it’s a business contract, employment contract or a building contract, Rosendorff Lawyers can review it and advise you about your options, rights and obligations. We can also help you with the contract drafting process, providing a binding contract outlining the services, results, payments, obligations and liabilities. Our drafting process includes placing a dispute resolution clause in the contract. This outlines how both parties should respond in the event of a dispute and can include the preferred method of dispute resolution. This helps both parties avoid going to court if there is trouble.

Contract Lawyer Frequenly Asked Questions
Are Verbal Contracts Legally Binding?
Mostly, yes. For many contracts, it doesn’t matter if the agreement is in writing or just spoken verbally. However, there are certain types of contracts, such as those for a land sale, which the law requires to be in writing. One problem with a verbal contract is that if there is a dispute, you are both relying on your memory, and some of the terms of the verbal contract may be difficult to prove in court.
Do You Need a Lawyer to Create a Contract?
No, you don’t need a contract lawyer to create a legal contract. If you write down what’s been agreed to, then both parties sign and date it, you’ve got a legally valid contract. But, if there’s any dispute in the future, you might find that some of your clauses were vague or open to different interpretations. Contract lawyers help you draft a clear-cut contract that protects your rights and interests, especially where significant sums of money are involved.
How Do Your Prove Breach of Contract?
A breach of contract happens when one party fails to perform their obligations according to the contract. The burden of proof lies with the party which alleges that the contract has been breached. If you can prove a breach, there are four avenues to get this resolved:
- Resolve the matter directly with the other party.
- The negligent party pays damages to the other party.
- Have the contract terminated.
- The negligent party is made to fulfil the original terms and requirements of the contract.
Contact us at Rosendorff Lawyers to advise you on the best way to prove any breach and get it resolved.
