Lots of contracts are filled with mind-bending legal gibberish, but there's no reason why this has to be true. For most contracts, legalese is not essential or even helpful. On the contrary, the agreements you'll want to put into a written contract are best expressed in simple, everyday English. Most contracts only need to contain two elements to be legally valid: 1  All parties must be in agreement (after an offer has been made by one party and accepted by the other).  Something of value must be exchanged -- such as cash, services, or goods (or a promise to exchange such an item) -- for something else of value.
