Draft around the legal objective
A document should identify the parties, intended legal effect, governing framework and the practical steps needed for it to work. We coordinate drafting of commercial agreements, notices, pleadings, policies and other legal documents with the local professional input appropriate to the task.
Review substance and formalities
Signature, witnessing, notarisation, language and filing requirements can affect validity or use. A template should be tested against mandatory rules, the transaction and the intended forum. Drafting includes resolving ambiguity, allocating responsibility and making the document usable by the people who must perform it.
What to prepare
- The proposed purpose and intended users
- Existing drafts, supporting facts and related agreements
- The jurisdiction, language and required completion date
