A contract will be deemed invalid if

While having an attorney review a contract can provide legal assurance and clarity, it is not a legal requirement for the validity of a contract. A contract can be valid even if it has not been reviewed or approved by an attorney, as long as the essential elements of a contract are present.

Many contracts can be valid even if they are not in writing, particularly those involving verbal agreements for services or goods under a certain dollar amount. However, some contracts, such as those involving real estate or lasting longer than a year, are required by law to be in writing to be enforceable. Thus, the lack of a written form alone does not automatically invalidate a contract.

Consideration does not have to be monetary; it can take many forms, such as services, goods, or even a promise to do something. As long as both parties agree to some form of consideration, the contract can still be valid. Therefore, the nature of consideration being non-monetary does not invalidate the contract.
