A transaction agreement is a contract like any other, so the usual terms of a valid agreement apply. As for the transaction, the most important requirements are that there must be: The former client of course argued that the purpose of the agreement was to settle the dispute over lawyers` fees and that at the time of the agreement, the right to negligence of £70 million was unknown and therefore could not have been included in the transaction. .
