Contracts are the backbone of every business relationship, professional deal, and personal agreement. Whether you are signing a new business contract, reviewing an employment agreement, or facing a contract dispute, you need to be sure that your rights are protected. At Adam Bernards Attorneys, our Houston contract law attorneys provide clear, practical, and results-driven legal guidance to individuals and businesses across Texas.
Contract law governs the agreements people and businesses make. A contract is a legally binding promise between two or more parties. When a contract is written clearly and executed properly, it ensures everyone knows their rights and responsibilities. But when a contract is poorly drafted or one party fails to follow through, legal disputes arise.
Our Houston contract lawyers help clients with:
Drafting new contracts
Reviewing existing agreements
Negotiating favorable terms
Enforcing contracts
Defending against unfair or invalid agreements
Contract law governs agreements between two or more parties. In simple terms, a contract is a legally binding promise. For a contract to be valid under Texas law, it generally requires an offer, acceptance, mutual consent, and something of value exchanged (called “consideration”).
While contracts can sometimes be made verbally, written agreements are always stronger. A clear, written contract not only helps everyone understand their rights and obligations but also makes enforcement easier if disputes arise.
This is why having a lawyer involved from the very beginning is so important. A skilled contract attorney ensures that your agreement is not only legally enforceable but also protects your interests.
Many people assume they can draft or sign a contract without legal advice, but this can be a risky move. Contracts often contain legal terms that may seem harmless but can later create serious financial or legal consequences. A poorly worded clause, hidden obligation, or unenforceable section can leave you exposed.
Working with our Houston contract law attorneys provides: protection from unfair terms; clear explanations in plain language; tailored agreements that fit your goals; and peace of mind knowing your contract is valid and enforceable under Texas law.
Whether you’re signing a business agreement, negotiating an employment contract, or facing a contract dispute, having a lawyer on your side is the best way to protect your rights.
At Adam Bernards Attorneys, we help both businesses and individuals across Houston with a wide range of contracts. Some of the most common include :
For business owners, contracts are the foundation of operations. We help with partnership agreements, vendor and supplier deals, non-disclosure agreements, franchise contracts, and more. A single poorly drafted agreement can create financial risks for your company, which is why legal guidance is so valuable.
Employers and employees alike benefit from clear employment agreements. We assist with job offers, executive contracts, non-compete clauses, and severance agreements. Our role is to ensure both sides fully understand the terms and that those terms comply with Texas employment law.
Real estate is one of the most contract-heavy industries. We draft and review purchase agreements, leases, construction contracts, and property management deals. Because real estate often involves high-value assets, every detail matters.
Not all contracts are business-related. We also help individuals with service agreements, settlement contracts, loan agreements, and other personal arrangements. Even a simple loan between friends can lead to disputes if the terms are unclear.
Unfortunately, even the best contracts can lead to disagreements. When one party does not live up to their side of the agreement, it is known as a breach of contract. Breaches may involve missed deadlines, unpaid invoices, failure to deliver promised goods or services, or wrongful termination of an agreement.
In Texas, when a breach occurs, you may have the right to recover damages, seek specific performance to require the other party to fulfill obligations, or cancel the contract and obtain restitution for what you lost.
Our attorneys represent clients in contract disputes of all sizes. Sometimes, these cases can be resolved through negotiation or mediation. Other times, litigation in court is necessary. Whatever the situation, we focus on achieving the most cost-effective solution while protecting your rights.
Small businesses, entrepreneurs, and corporations all rely on strong contracts. We partner with businesses across Houston to provide ongoing legal support, ensuring that agreements are not only legally valid but also strategically beneficial.

When you work with our Houston contract law attorneys, the process is designed to be simple and stress-free. We begin with an initial consultation to review your situation and goals, then move to drafting or reviewing the agreement in detail, negotiating fair terms with the other party, ensuring proper execution so the contract is enforceable, and, if necessary, enforcing your rights should disputes arise later.
We aim to be your partner from start to finish, making sure your contracts continue to protect you long after they’re signed.
