Contract drafting — Legal adviser — Professionals
Contract instructions suit providers able to translate a defined commercial relationship into an appropriate legal document. Before accepting a fixed fee, determine whether the parties agree on the deal or require negotiation and whether cross-border, consumer or sector-specific issues need another specialist.
Service scope
Preparation or revision of a contract to record a defined transaction or working relationship, including the parties' responsibilities, commercial terms and the matters requiring legal review. The service is document drafting, not an assurance that a generic template will be suitable in every jurisdiction.
What is normally included
- Drafting an agreement from a business brief
- Reviewing an existing draft
- Recording agreed commercial terms
- Coordinating revisions and negotiation points
What is not included
- Automatic transfer of a template between jurisdictions
- Tax structuring unless separately instructed
- Guarantee that every proposed clause is enforceable
Qualification checks
- Verify the client's authority to instruct
- Identify the contract's purpose
- Check relevant jurisdictions
- Separate agreed terms from disputed terms
- Define review and negotiation rounds
Quote guidance
Specify the document or document set, the drafting inputs, included revision rounds and any negotiation work. Treat additional agreements, specialist schedules or materially changed transaction terms as separately scoped work rather than concealing them in an unlimited-drafting promise.
Lead risks
- The transaction may change during drafting
- Multiple decision-makers can issue inconsistent instructions
- Reusing another party's document may carry unexamined assumptions
