HOW TO SAFELY SIGN A CONTRACT FOR A COMPANY

HOW TO SAFELY SIGN A CONTRACT FOR A COMPANY

In business law, not everybody can validly sign for a company. A company is a separate legal entity and contracts signed without proper authorization can create serious problems for you.

Mostly, only a Director, Company Secretary or a person duly authorized by the company’s board can legally sign agreements on behalf of the company.

If the wrong person signs, the contract may become disputed, unenforceable or may even expose that person to personal liability.

This is how many business owners, investors and staff fall into errors.

Deals are rushed, documents are copied from the internet, important clauses/terms are left out, signatories fail to state their official positions or follow proper execution procedures.

When disputes arise, parties suddenly discover that the agreement they trusted cannot protect them.

The same danger exists in property and real estate transactions. Signing land agreements without proper legal review can lead you to fraud, ownership issues, losses and endless litigation.

Many Nigerians in the diaspora become victims after investing heavily in properties or businesses handled carelessly by their relatives, agents or other persons.

So avoid legal problems by involving a Property/Real Estate and Business Lawyer to help prepare solid Agreements, protect your valuable business/real estate investments and ownership interests through proactive legal representation.
