legal agreements
Enforceable written promises
Legal agreements are contracts or other binding arrangements between parties that establish rights, obligations, and terms enforceable by law.
The phrase encompasses everything from employment contracts to prenuptial agreements to settlement terms: The merger required dozens of legal agreements.
In casual use, it often implies formality and lawyer involvement: We should probably get some legal agreements in place before we start the business together.
