Contract drafting is the process of writing legally binding agreements that detail the rights and duties of the involved parties.

Understanding common contract terms helps clients navigate legal documents confidently. Below are definitions of important terms frequently encountered in contract drafting and reviewing.
An MSA is a foundational contract outlining the general terms and conditions between parties for future transactions or services. It streamlines business dealings by setting standard provisions applicable to multiple agreements.
These documents legally establish a business entity, such as LLCs or corporations, and include articles of incorporation and operating agreements which define ownership and operational rules.
Negotiation is the process where parties discuss and agree upon contract terms to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, balancing interests and responsibilities.
This clause specifies how any disagreements under the contract will be handled, such as mediation, arbitration, or litigation, providing clarity on resolving conflicts.
Businesses may choose between limited contract review or comprehensive contract drafting services depending on their needs. Limited reviews focus on identifying key issues in existing contracts, while comprehensive services involve creating fully customized agreements from scratch.
If your business encounters standardized contracts with predictable terms, a limited review can help identify any unusual clauses or risks without the need for full drafting services.
Limited review is appropriate when making small changes to contracts where the overall structure and terms remain consistent with prior agreements.
