legal binding contract......

[kim9000]

Hello! I am not only new to this awesome forum but also new to the concept of small business. I have a business in mind that I would like to pursue, but the biggest thing I can't find help on is an answer to my question on contracts:

How can I make a legal binding contract? Do I take a contract template and get it notarized or signed/registered through some legal institution? Or is ANY document that is signed by me and my client considered legal-binding? I'm just not sure about the legal part.

Thanks!

It may be better to ask a local lawyer since the legislation in India may be different to that in the UK.

Kim 9000: If your 'legal and binding contract' is not a commercial transaction of some sort, such as the sale of goods then I assume you are referring to a deed or contract under seal. This is when two or more parties come together and agree to act (or refrain from acting) in a certain and well defined way to their common interest. If this is the case then forget looking for templates on the web and find a good lawyer to draw this up for you.
