CONTRACT DRAFTING AND REVIEW

A sound contract is not merely legal terminology. It should clearly express the commercial objective, performance mechanics, payment, risk allocation, and workable remedies if a dispute occurs.

What does the service cover?

• Sale, services, works, lease, distribution, and other commercial contracts
• Legal and commercial risk review of an existing draft
• Payment, acceptance, warranty, liability, and security mechanisms
• Variation, termination, confidentiality, and data-protection terms
• Negotiation of governing-law, court, and arbitration clauses

Information and documents for the initial review

• Commercial description and intended outcome
• Counterparty draft and attachments
• Price, payment, delivery, and acceptance terms
• Scope of work, specifications, and internal risk requirements

How the work is handled

1. Identify commercial objectives and key risks
2. Draft or clause-by-clause review
3. Prepare comments and negotiation positions
4. Check final wording, attachments, and signing authority

Important consideration

A template does not replace transaction-specific and counterparty risk analysis. A bilingual or trilingual contract should address the prevailing language, consistent terminology, and signing authority.
