Business Contracts: What Alberta Entrepreneurs Should Never Sign

Why Contracts Deserve a Second Look

In Alberta’s fast-moving business world, verbal agreements and handshake deals can spell disaster. Even written contracts—especially ones pulled from a template or drafted by the other party—can contain clauses that put your company at risk.

Before you sign on the dotted line, a business lawyer can help you avoid costly legal traps that could impact your bottom line for years.

Hidden Risks in Everyday Agreements

From vendor contracts to service agreements and shareholder deals, the legal language can be hard to spot and even harder to interpret. Common pitfalls include:

• Unclear termination clauses

• Lopsided liability or indemnity terms

• Ambiguous payment structures

• Unfair dispute resolution processes

• Missing intellectual property protections

A Lawyer’s Review Can Save You More Than Just Money

Legal advice isn’t just about pointing out what’s wrong. It’s about protecting what’s right—your interests, your brand, and your ability to grow. A lawyer can also revise contract terms, negotiate fairer conditions, and ensure the deal aligns with Alberta law.
