Drafting of Contracts

Drafting a legal contract refers to the act of documenting the terms and conditions to a contract and ensuring that such conditions meet the unique requirements of our client. Drafting an effective contract is a multi-step process that requires careful consideration of various legal elements.

Contract Drafting Process

Our comprehensive contract drafting process includes:

1. Determining the legal capacity of the parties - Each party must be sound of mind and a major
2. Establishing whether there is consensus between the parties - Parties to the agreement must be in agreement about the terms and conditions of the contract and have the intention of concluding a valid and binding agreement
3. Ensuring that the agreement complies with the legal formalities - Legislation sets out certain formalities which need to be applied to different types of contracts
4. Determining whether the terms and conditions of the agreement is legal - For an agreement to be legally binding, its objective can't be contra bonos mores
5. Ensuring that the performance of the agreement is possible - as soon as performance in terms of the contract is no longer possible, the agreement is considered to be voidable by the parties
