A legal contract format is a document that outlines the terms, conditions and obligations of a legally binding agreement between two or more parties. It contains all the necessary information about the parties involved, their roles and responsibilities, the consideration (payment) exchanged for the work done and the way to resolve any disputes that may arise from the agreement. While contracts are written in a legal language, they should be in an engaging tone and style so that everyone involved understands what has been agreed upon and commits to meeting their obligations.
