India & Foreign Laws Qualified Attorney for Drafting and Reviewing of International Contracts
“A contract should be structured in a way that the underlying purpose is lawfully established, executed, and protected!”
An effective contract not only reflects the parties’ intention to enter into a legal relationship but also clearly outlines each party's obligations, including necessary safeguards and effective remedies.
Today’s economy is driven by trade, both domestic and international, and this trade is facilitated through contracts (whether domestic or international) entered into by the parties. A domestic contract is one in which both parties operate their businesses within the same country, while an international contract involves parties operating their businesses in different countries.
Accelerated globalization has blurred the lines between the required terms for domestic and international contracts, leading most corporations to follow similar principles when drafting and/or reviewing both types. Despite this, careless drafting and/or reviewing of contracts have harmed corporations worldwide.
A contract is not merely a collection of standard terms; it is a thoughtful reflection of the parties’ understanding regarding the agreement's purpose, the nature of services, performance requirements, type of consideration, and the specific industry involved. Therefore, the overall structure of a contract, including the hierarchy and construction of its terms, will vary based on the parties involved, the contract's purpose, the services rendered, the industry, location, and applicable laws. With this in mind, certain fundamental rules govern the drafting and/or reviewing of contracts, which continue to evolve with changes in law and practice.
To ensure a successful contract, the following questions should be addressed before initiating the drafting or review process:
- Who has drafted or will draft/review the contract?
- What is the purpose of the contract?
- Is it a domestic or an international contract?
- Are all boilerplate terms effectively included in the contract?
- Are all important terms carefully inserted into the contract?
- Is the contract structured in a way that is clear, concise, and easy to understand?
- Does the contract contain a proper arbitration clause?
