Contract law is a body of law regulating contract which encompasses an agreement between private parties creating mutual obligations enforceable by law. The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance, adequate consideration, capacity and legality. An agreement naturally involves the exchange of goods, services, money, or promises of any of those.

CONTRACT ENFORCEMENT & BUSINESS
A commercial contract refers to a legally binding agreement between parties in which they are obligated to do or not do certain things. Contracts may be written or verbal and drawn up in a formal or informal way. Most businesses create contracts in writing to make the terms of agreement clear, often seeking legal counsel when drawing important contracts. Contracts may encompass all aspects of a business, including hiring, salaries, employees rights protection, leasing and loans. A breach of contract occurs when one of the parties fails to live up to the agreements. In such a case, the law is required to provide a remedy, which in many cases involves the court system enforcing the contract or asking the party to compensate for any damage done by the breach.
Our government, commercial and international contracts practice is in its third decade of successfully representing companies and organizations that contract with federal, provincial, local and international governments and with other private firms. We focus on helping clients maintain their current and long-term competitive positions, by advising them at every step in the bidding and contracting process, in a manner that maximizes their bottom line and industry reputation.
We represent clients in a broad range of industries, from aerospace to munitions, electronics to services, and information technology to manufacturing. Our attorneys have particular experience in the procurement of complex, high-technology supplies and services, as well as commercial sales to government customers. We represent companies in commercial contract transactions with large and small private domestic and international infrastructure projects. Clients include owners, prime and sub-contractors, designer-builders, architects, engineers, and construction managers.
