A contract records what the parties have agreed. Careful drafting makes the rights and obligations easier to understand and reduces ambiguity. A contract does not remove every legal risk, and it cannot force the other party to perform.
Tsotetsi Attorneys drafts agreements and reviews agreements prepared by someone else. The document should fit the transaction, rather than be used as a generic form that has not been read against the facts.
How Tsotetsi Attorneys can assist
- Drafting an agreement from the client’s instructions
- Reviewing a draft received from another party
