One page for marriage, 10 pages for divorce.

What a day I’m having.  I received a call this morning from someone that is disputing a contract I signed four years ago.  They aren’t so much disputing that contract with me but with someone he did business with a few years before that.  Basically it’s a messy contract dispute.  Today is day one of the dispute.  I’ll have to see how it plays out.  I think the only reason I’m involved is that this person wants to go after the deep pockets of a company I did a deal with.

My friend Gerry has told me more than once when it comes to contracts:  ”one page for marriage, 10 pages for divorce”.   That is my advice to you!  Contracts aren’t about protecting the upside, they are about limiting the downside.
