Simple Agreement Defined
Jump to Section
What is a Simple Agreement?
A simple agreement is a form of contract that is not in the formation of a sealed contract and can optionally be made verbally, in writing, or both. Simple agreements must be carefully reviewed to be legally valid and binding on the parties. However, the behaviors and verbal expressions of the parties involved in the contract can also be described as a simple agreement.
It is known that people who borrowed in the seventeenth century, the oldest history of simple agreements, accepted simple agreements as unsecured debt. For simple agreements to be accepted today, the creditor must not be able to obtain a material lien that is superior to the interests of the debtor.

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 am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
