Initial Agreement Defined

Jump to Section

What is an Initial Agreement?

An initial agreement is a contract between two or more parties that sets the terms and conditions of a new relationship between them. The contract states who the contract parties are, what obligations they each agree to take on, and when the contract period will begin. By drawing and signing an initial agreement, the contract parties can successfully enter into a legally-binding agreement that unites them toward a common goal.

The purpose of the initial agreement is to set the legal framework that governs the relationship between contract parties. This ensures that the relationship is legally enforceable and that if the contract is breeched, legal recourse can be pursued against the offending party.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
