The handshake seals the contract. From the contract there is no turning back

Unfortunately, a handshake is not always the safest way to secure your legal agreements. IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad once put it bluntly:

“Don’t make verbal agreements. Don’t rely on a handshake. Make sure everything is in writing. After all, no lawyer in the world can help you enforce a handshake.”

That’s where we come in.
