Business Law
A well-prepared contract stands up better in court. At Skeen & Kauffman, L.L.P., we believe that a contract drafted by an attorney who is also a trial lawyer, may be crafted better than one prepared by a transaction-only attorney. Why? Because when you know how to break a contract, you also know how to draft one that is much less likely to be broken.
The attorneys at Skeen & Kauffman, L.L.P. avoid litigation through the skillful preparation of contracts and other transactional work. Please contact our Baltimore business law attorneys for help with any of the following matters:
