Commercial Law & Litigation Services in Granville, Auburn and Western Sydney
Contracts are the backbone of business and personal transactions. A well-drafted agreement clearly sets out the rights and responsibilities of all parties, helping to prevent disputes and misunderstandings. Whether you’re entering into a business partnership, leasing a property, or engaging a service provider, having a legally sound contract ensures your interests are protected. At Fred Kalouche & Associates, we prepare, review, and negotiate contracts tailored to your needs, ensuring compliance with NSW law and minimising your legal risks.
Why Contracts Matter
A legally binding contract:
● Provides clarity on terms, obligations, and timeframes
● Reduces the risk of disputes
● Offers legal remedies if the other party breaches the agreement
● Helps protect your assets, business, and reputation
Without a formal written contract, you may face uncertainty if a disagreement arises.

Relevant NSW Laws
Contract law in NSW is governed by a combination of common law principles and legislation such as the Australian Consumer Law and the Contracts Review Act 1980 (NSW). Understanding these laws helps ensure your agreement is valid and enforceable.
Frequently Asked Questions About Contracts
Do all contracts need to be in writing?
Not always. Some contracts can be verbal, but written agreements are strongly recommended as they provide clear evidence of terms. Certain agreements, like property sales, must be in writing to be legally enforceable.
Can I draft my own contract?
Yes, but it’s risky. DIY contracts may miss key clauses or contain ambiguous wording, leading to disputes. A lawyer ensures your contract is comprehensive and legally binding.
What happens if the other party breaches the contract?
You may be entitled to remedies such as damages, specific performance, or termination of the contract. Legal advice should be sought promptly.
How often should contracts be reviewed?
Contracts should be reviewed regularly, especially if laws change or your business circumstances shift.
