What to keep in mind
Review operational processes, authority to sign, attachments and the allocation of risks; ensure the language matches how the parties will actually work.
Generic templates can overlook essential exposures or contain conflicting provisions.
Distinctions often confused
Contract drafting is not merely adding legal safeguards; it must create an agreement that the parties can perform.
