It clearly identifies the respective rights and legal obligations of the contracting parties. It sets the right tone at the start of any commercial relationship. Importantly and necessarily, it also deals with ‘worst-case’ scenarios and what the respective parties’ rights and obligations are when they occur. A strongly and clearly drafted agreement understood by both parties will minimise the possibility of a contractual dispute arising, or if one does arise, it can be addressed pursuant to the terms of the contract.
Poorly prepared and unclear contracts, or worse yet, ‘handshake’ only agreements (not documented), will more than likely result in a costly legal dispute and possible litigation. We adopt a plain English contract drafting approach and assist in the negotiation process.
