Contract matters the firm handles
Contracts are part of everyday life: leases, purchase agreements, employment agreements, loans and service contracts. Problems usually arise when the terms are unclear or one side does not perform. A careful review before signing can prevent many disputes.
In Mississippi, a lawsuit over a written contract generally must be filed within three years (Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49), so it is important not to wait.
