Oral agreements can be enforced and have been the bases for wins in court.

Go ahead. Knock yourself out.

Are Oral Contracts Enforceable?

Most lawyers recommend written contracts. While writing down your contracts offers several practical benefits, an oral contract is no less legally binding. Before a party can sue over a breach of contract claim, these three elements must be present:

The existence of a valid contract between the parties.
It must be established that the defendant breached the contract.

Damages caused by the defendant’s actions.

The validity of a contract is not dependent on whether it was written down or oral. It is only in situations where the statute of frauds is applicable that a contract must be in writing before it can be enforced. An oral contract which does not fall into this category is enforceable.
