What is an Acknowledgement Agreement?
An acknowledgement agreement is a legal document formalizing some agreement between parties. The agreement acts as an official acknowledgement of the particular fact the parties are agreeing to. Sometimes this is used to have one party agree to restrictions or obligations that are not set out in an original agreement.
Acknowledgement agreements can take place in mortgage and lending situations allowing a creditor to obtain security interest. In addition, it can be used between companies to outline a specific change and the agreement of action over that change.

Benjamin V.
My practice involves counseling businesses and individuals on a variety of contracts, such as business formation, technology/IP, real estate, leases, and even domestic relations agreements. Much of my practice is dedicated to litigation. As such, I approach contract and transactional work from a litigation perspective by advising clients of the risks involved in failing to develop proper contracts. It takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good lawyer. A good lawyer is honest and forthcoming with clients and has a counseling ethos. And, to me, a good lawyer stands in the shoes of the client when considering how to best serve that client. Whether my client is a business or an individual, I am passionate about helping my clients understand their rights, responsibilities, risks, and possibilities.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
