Client Service Contract

Illinois

I provide services to clients and I am considering getting a contract in place for my services. What are the benefits of having one? I haven't had any disputes with customers yet but I also want to make sure I am protected.

With the caveat that I'm a Pennsylvania and not Illinois attorney, a contract establishes the rights and responsibilities of the parties. Whether you realize it, when you enter into a deal with a customer, you establish and oral contract. A written contract is much easier to enforce, and to prove the terms, because they are in writing. You are much less likely to run into disputes down the line. And for the most part, customers appreciate the certainty as well.
