Contract Presentation Requirements
Summary
New Hampshire law does not require employment contracts to be presented with offer letters, but RSA 275:70 mandates written notice of pay terms. Economic duress involves signing under wrongful pressure, and lack of consideration means no mutual value exchange. Contracts can be unenforceable due to lack of capacity, duress, misrepresentation, illegality, or unconscionability. A draft complaint outlines allegations and claims, and responding involves reviewing, communicating, negotiating, and preparing a legal response.Full Conversation
