How risky can a handshake be? Very - if you don’t cover yourself properly. A “mates” or “gentleman’s” agreement, even when made in good faith, can easily turn sour and expose you to various risks under Victorian law. If a relaxed agreement doesn’t meet certain criteria and statutory requirements, you may have no recourse if the other party breaches it. What you thought was fair and reasonable may instead leave you liable, exposed and unprotected. Our commercial and business lawyer Mostafa Mozafari discusses the risks of Verbal Agreements, and why a proper legal contract is always best for peace of mind. Link in our bio.
