Contract Drafting Services

Even though you have made a gentlemen’s agreement and shaken hands on the deal, you still need to have that agreement reduced to writing and signed. We will tell you why.  

 

Nearly every commercial arrangement is done on the basis of a written contract. This is because unlike gentlemen’s agreements or verbal contracts, written contracts are clearer, easier to prove and enforce, and are not subject to our faulty human memory.

Why choose us?


Verbal contracts or gentlemen’s agreements on the other hand, though still legally valid, are more likely to be misunderstood that the parties, since there is no reference document, and thus more likely to give rise to disputes. Also, verbal agreements are more difficult to prove, and therefore, more difficult to enforce.

When entering into a written contract, it is important that the contract be drafted by a lawyer with the relevant expertise, to ensure that the contract is tailor-made, the obligations of the parties are clear, the arrangement contemplated under the contract complies with all relevant laws, and that all legal risks are identified and adequately mitigated in the contract.

We have a combined experience of over 50 years’ experience in providing contract law advice to individuals, small businesses and large corporations. 

We have expertise in drafting contracts for all kinds of business and private arrangements, representing our clients at negotiations with their counterparties, advising on the appropriate steps to be taken in the event of a breach, and representing clients at dispute resolution proceedings arising from such breaches.  We apply our expertise to ensure that your interests are properly represented, risks are identified and mitigated, and pitfalls that commonly lead to disputes are avoided.

Our services are competitively priced, and depending on your preference, we offer fixed fee and hourly billing options.
