While some litigation can not be avoided, the risk of litigation should always be contemplated.  Some people and businesses are more open to litigation.  Some are operated under strict by-laws and municipal regulations. Clients should be familiar with law regulating their industry or profession.  The legal interactions should always be conducted in writing so that there is no misunderstanding of the terms of the agreements or disagreements later.  Oral arrangements are famous for being misapprehended and perfectly honest people often have different memories on the details of the agreements or intentions.   It is intelligent to submit such agreements to your lawyer for legal review before the agreement is finalized.  An experienced lawyer will be able to choose best wording for standard agreement, to clarify meaning of uncertain terms and to caution your about potential for disputes as a result of the agreement.
