In today’s highly competitive and cost-conscious environment, negotiating and drafting commercial contracts is an important part of business activity. Whether you are a business professional, entrepreneur, or legal practitioner, understanding commercial contracts is vital for successful business transactions.
However, it is imperative to understand the need to be attentive and careful while drafting such contracts to ensure there are no conflicts or disputes in the future. Even if there are some conflicts, there should be a resolution clause that directs how to proceed in such situations.
It is not unreasonable to envisage that continuously reviewing and assessing the commercial contracts will become crucial for the wellbeing of business performance and profitability. It will require legal professionals to be well versed with the drafting techniques, foresee the risk and have futuristic thinking to handle contracts in the best interest of their organization.
