Contract drafting and review — Lawyer
A contract service is appropriate when you need an agreement prepared, explained or revised before committing to it. Describe the transaction and your role, identify whether a draft already exists and note the issues you want addressed without uploading confidential terms publicly.
Service scope
Legal drafting, review or negotiation of a specified agreement, with attention to the parties' intended obligations and the law relevant to the transaction. The service distinguishes creating a document from reviewing a supplied version and negotiating changes.
What is normally included
- Reviewing a supplied contract
- Drafting agreed contractual terms
- Explaining or negotiating proposed amendments
What is not included
- Generic templates treated as bespoke advice
- Guaranteed enforceability in every country
- Tax or technical certification outside the engagement
Typical tasks
- Establish the agreement's purpose
- Identify the contracting parties and roles
- Review or draft the document
- Explain material drafting questions
- Record negotiated revisions
What to include in your brief
- Type of agreement
- Your role in the transaction
- Draft length if available
- Countries or governing-law provision
- Intended signing date
Choosing the right professional
Select experience relevant to the particular transaction rather than a promise to check any contract. Agree whether the work includes negotiation, attachments and later revisions, and who will confirm commercial, tax or technical assumptions.
Important considerations
- Attachments can change the meaning of main terms
- Advice for one party is not neutral advice to all
- A rushed signature may precede completion of review
