Any time you are buying, selling, building, or remodeling a home, an attorney should review the contract for your legal protection. The attorney can identify unfavorable terms, negotiate more fair terms, ensure compliance with legal requirements, clarify the scope of work, review payment terms, assess insurance and liability, provide dispute resolution provisions, establish clear rules for change orders, warranties, and guarantees, and research the contractor's reputation.
Having legal representation levels the playing field and ensures that a buyer's rights and interests are protected. This package is a two-hour review of the contract and a memo identifying problematic terms and recommendations, though it does not involve redrafting the contract.
