Contact Negotiation and Drafting

Practice Areas > Contact Negotiation and Drafting

Efficiency is the key

Clients regularly enter into contracts which are seemingly straightforward. Therefore, clients often do not believe that they require assistance to negotiate and draft contracts.

However problems can be avoided by having your contract thoroughly reviewed by us prior to its execution and operation. A major strength of our firm is that we know our clients and understand their needs, thus enabling us to negotiate, draft, review and implement contractual agreements which reflect their long-term commercial objectives.

Complex agreements

We are often engaged by clients to negotiate and draft complex agreements, to ensure that our clients' long-term commercial interests are protected.

Foresight and long-term solutions

mdp McDonald Partners provides the service of being involved with negotiation and drafting of more complex contracts, as well as drafting agreements where clients have previously negotiated the commercial terms. The importance of reviewing contracts before they are executed cannot be underestimated. All too often, the review stage in contractual negotiations is not taken seriously enough - until problems arise.

Documenting negotiations

mdp McDonald Partners has a wealth of experience in documenting contracts which have already been negotiated by clients. These include:

· contracts for the purchase and sale of businesses;

· distribution agreements;

· complex intellectual property licence and royalty agreements;

· publishing agreements;

· executive employment contracts;

· buy/sell agreements;

· shareholders agreements;

· partnership agreements;

· franchise agreements; and

· performance-based contracts.
