Contracts Drafting
When drafting contracts, South Africa has no regulation that a lawyer does it. However, when there is money involved, professional contract drafting mitigates the risk.
Why Draft a Contract?
Even though verbal agreements are enforceable agreements, and so also contracts, proving what was said should things go awry is tedious and expensive. It is far safer to preserve what was agreed upon by drafting a contract.
By writing down the details of a deal – terms, prices, delivery, timeframe – as well as the legal consequences for not fulfilling the commitment, you are starting to create a contract and give your business certainty.
Drafting contracts also involves making sure that all parties clearly understand their duties and legal obligations. But rather than over-simplifying the wording of the contract, drafting of contracts needs to balance comprehension with being legally binding enough to be enforceable in court.
