市场经济就是交易经济，合同就是交易的法律形式，因此，合同作为创造财富的媒介无时不在、无处不在，合同不仅是个人或企业生存和发展的依靠，而且也是主要的社会经济现象。西方有句名言，财富的一半来自于合同。个人或企业要生存和发展，开拓市场获取利润固然重要，但如何保证权益不被侵害才是个人的立身之本和企业得以发展的基础。因此，做好合同法律风险防范，是维护个人或企业合法权益的最基本的要求。市场经济主体应该充分运用各种法律手段规避和化解经营管理中存在的风险，切实维护其自身合法权益。

As a medium for wealth creation, therefore, the contract could be seen everywhere. Contracts are not only the dependence of individuals or enterprises on their survival and development, but also the main socio-economic phenomenon.There goes a famous west saying that half of wealth comes from contracts. Though it is important to open up the market to obtain profits, ensuring that rights and interests are not infringed is the foundation of the individual's standing and the basis for the development of the enterprise.
