A contract is a binding legal agreement that is enforceable in a court of law. That is to say, a contract is an exchange of promises for the breach of which the law will provide a remedy. Contract law is based on the principle expressed in the Latin phrase pacta sunt servanda (usually translated “pacts must be kept”, but more literally “agreements are to be kept”). Breach of contract is recognized by the law and remedies can be provided.

Every case represents a failure, sometimes failure of the drafter of the contract and sometimes the failure of the parties and their attorneys to resolve the dispute without having to go to the court. Drafting contract is essentially an art directed to avoid the pitfalls in a planning context, to prevent disputes and to protect the rights.
