I don't know about other places; but in the UK, a contract doesn't even have to be written down, let alone signed.
Of course, an unwritten contract is no more valuable than the paper it's (not) written on; and either party can dispute the terms. But you can still make a valid contract with a verbal agreement and a shake of hands. But don't do this unless you trust your co-contractor!
