What clients usually ask
Can you draft a contract from a template?
A template can be a starting point, but the agreement should be checked against the actual transaction and applicable legal requirements.
The usual first steps
- Understand the transaction and desired outcome.
- Identify duties, payment, risk, breach and termination terms.
- Prepare and revise the agreement with the parties’ instructions.
What to bring
Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
