Contract Drafting and Review FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions about our legal services for Contract Drafting and Review.
Why is professional contract drafting important for my business?
Professional drafting ensures that your agreements are legally enforceable, clear, and tailored to your specific business risks. Poorly drafted contracts can lead to ambiguity, costly disputes, and unintended liabilities. We ensure your documentation offers robust protection.
What is the difference between a contract review and a contract audit?
A contract review typically focuses on a single agreement before it is signed, assessing its terms and risks. A contract audit is a broader examination of your existing contractual relationships to identify systemic risks, compliance gaps, and opportunities for renegotiation across your business.
Can you help negotiate terms with a counterparty?
Yes. Beyond drafting, we act as strategic partners in negotiations. We work to secure favourable terms that align with your commercial goals while maintaining constructive relationships with your suppliers, partners, or clients.
What are the key clauses to look for in a commercial contract?
Critical clauses include payment terms, limitations of liability, indemnities, termination rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Depending on the nature of the deal, intellectual property and confidentiality provisions may also be vital. We ensure these are balanced and protective.
Are oral contracts legally binding in the UK?
Yes, oral contracts can be legally binding, but they are fraught with risk due to the difficulty of proving the agreed terms. We strongly advise memorialising all commercial arrangements in writing to ensure clarity, certainty, and enforceability.
