A contract is a document that clearly outlines obligations agreed upon by two or more parties. Contracts are enforceable by law and breaching them can lead to serious consequences. While it is possible for an individual to draft a contract themselves, even the slightest ambiguity or omission in a contract can lead to conflict, confusion, and legal problems in the future. At Melbourne Law Studio, our vast experience with contract law allows us to draft contracts that are clear, concise, and legally sound.
Having a contract lawyer draft a commercial contract gives you distinct advantages, as outlined below.
Lawyers are trained to be detail-oriented and objective. A contract lawyer can offer an outside perspective on negotiations, structure a deal to suit both parties and draft a contract that is designed to represent the interests of all the parties involved. A contract lawyer can simplify legal jargon and help you understand exactly what the terms are so that you can make an informed decision.
Your contract lawyer will spot potential problems in the contract and offer solutions. When entering into any contract, having a contract specialist by your side who can offer practical, unbiased advice regarding your rights is invaluable.
When drafting a contract, writing skills and a strong grasp of the language is just half the battle. A commercial contract expert can anticipate how the courts will interpret terminology and language. Hiring a contract lawyer offers stability to the contract drafting process.
Even a minor punctuation error such as a misplaced comma can change the meaning of a particular clause. In a legal setting where interpretation can often decide the outcome, precision is of the utmost importance.
The language used in a contract cannot be ‘close enough’. Every technical legal requirement must be written with clarity and in detail.
