Contract Terms 

In contracts, fewer contract terms means less complexity. Fewer schedules in contracts means less complexity. Fewer terms means less complexity. Complexity costs time. 

Complexity costs money. We work with our clients to avoid unnecessary complexity.

What's your situation?

You need a contract that:
 
  • contains easy to follow language and sets you up for negotiations
  • will be based on a template contract but need it checked to make sure it is up to scratch
  • mirrors how your business operates
  • will protect your business if something goes wrong
  • will not scare off your counterpart when you negotiate
  • avoid unnecessary jargon

Prepare Contract

You have received a contract to sign and:
 
  • you are confident about most of it, but remain uncertain about some parts
  • the clauses do not say what you thought they would
  • you've been asked a question you can't answer
  • you've received a revision to the contract and are unsure how to handle it
  • you can't see a way to get out of the contract if things go wrong
  • it is written in a way that you might get trapped, but can’t see exactly how
  • you're not sure exactly what to do

Contract Review

You have a contract which:
 
  • comes back with so many change requests and redlines
  • loses you business because the contract is too complicated
  • wastes money with queries, training and delay
  • gets in the way of closing new business
  • need to include new products or service offerings
  • means one thing to you and your counterpart thinks it means something else
  • the time it takes to prepare causes distraction from business
