Our experienced legal experts are masters at “Contract Drafting & Review” and help businesses draft agreements that are precise, enforceable, and precisely tailored to their needs.

Why is Contract Drafting Significant?

Contracts are official documents that lay out the terms and conditions of a deal between parties. A good contract not only outlines the rights and obligations of each party but also serves as a **legal protection** in case of a dispute. In the absence of a good contract, businesses are bound to experience misunderstandings, loss of funds, or even lawsuits.

One must be precise, specific, and detailed while writing contracts. Ambiguities or lost information through vague language may cause misunderstandings and possible legal conflicts.

Key Elements of Contract Drafting

  • Clear Terms and Conditions
    Every contract needs to have scope of work, payment, timelines, and deliverables defined clearly. Regardless of whether it is a “service agreement”, “sales contract”, or “employment agreement”, all parties should have a clear understanding of what is being required of them.
  • Dispute Resolution Mechanism
    A good agreement also has a provision explaining how differences will be resolved. This could be through mediation, arbitration, or litigation, depending on the nature of agreement and what the concerned parties prefer.
  • Termination Clause
    The agreements must include the terms on which the contract can be terminated and the process to be adopted if either party wishes to withdraw from the contract prematurely.
  • Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
    Sometimes companies have to protect confidential information. Having a confidentiality clause guarantees that trade secrets are kept confidential.
  • Force Majeure
    Unforeseen circumstances like natural calamities or economic disturbances can render either or both of the parties incapable of honoring their commitments. A “force majeure clause” is a safety net that enables alteration or cancellation in such extraordinary situations.
  • Jurisdiction and Governing Law
    The agreement must specify the jurisdiction of the law and again the law that will govern any dispute that may arise. It is particularly relevant when you have international partners or clients.

Why You Need Professional Contract Review

Even if you have written a contract, it is a good idea to have it reviewed by a legal professional before you sign it. Reading a contract means a meticulous reading of the terms so that they are reasonable, comprehensible, and legally enforceable. Reading a contract also identifies any potential traps or hazards that have not yet been recognized.
