Abstract

A contract is a legally binding agreement (a legal transaction) that is usually concluded between two parties. Therefore, it is generally referred to as a bilateral legal transaction. For instance, in a sale contract, there are two parties: a buyer and a seller. In a lease contract, there are also two parties: a lessor and a lessee. However, a contract may be concluded between more than two parties—e.g., a partnership contract with multiple partners. Another example is an inheritance partition agreement made between more than two heirs. These kinds of contracts are referred to as multilateral legal transactions or, more precisely, as multilateral contracts.
