Drafting contracts from the ground up

A contract should do more than formally comply with law: it should accurately describe the transaction, performance, payment, timing, documents, liability and exit mechanisms. We tailor drafting to the client’s role and practical risks.

Legal review before signing

We analyse a counterparty’s draft, identify legal and commercial risks and, where appropriate, prepare amendments, comments or a structured response for negotiations.

What we review

Scope and obligations; price and payment; deadlines; acceptance procedures; penalties and liability; warranties; unilateral amendments; automatic renewal; termination; force majeure; confidentiality; governing law and dispute resolution.

Contracts we draft and review

Supply, sale and purchase, services, works, lease, cooperation, commission, agency, NDA and other commercial agreements. Real estate, employment and IP contracts can be coordinated with the relevant specialist practice.

Amendments and negotiated changes

We document changes to price, timing, scope, payment and other terms through amendments and help formulate reasoned revisions when the counterparty’s wording is unsuitable.

Termination and breach

We assess termination rights, consequences of default, late payment or non-performance and help prepare notices, demands or claims and determine an appropriate next step.

Contracts for business

We help businesses build a practical contracting system: core templates, transaction-specific adaptations and review of important counterparty agreements. Ongoing contract work may form part of ongoing legal services for business.

International contracts

Cross-border contracts require additional attention to governing law, jurisdiction or arbitration, currency and payment, delivery terms, language and performance across countries. These issues also connect with our International Law practice.

FAQ

Can you review a contract that is already drafted?

Yes. We can review a counterparty’s draft before signing, identify risks and propose amendments.

Do I always need a new contract?

No. An existing template can often be reviewed and adapted to the particular transaction and counterparty.

Can a signed contract be amended?

In many cases the parties can change agreed terms through an amendment. The appropriate mechanism depends on the contract and the relationship.

What if the counterparty breaches the contract?

We review the contract, evidence of performance and the breach, then assess negotiation, a formal claim, termination or litigation as appropriate.
