Drafting Bespoke Contracts

ONELAW drafts bespoke contracts for businesses, transactions, investment projects, partnerships and other commercial relationships.

A bespoke contract should reflect the actual operating model: performance, payments, liability, warranties, termination and remedies for breach.

ONELAW Approach

A contract should be capable of performance, negotiation and judicial enforcement.

ONELAW considers how the parties will perform, which documents will prove performance, where disputes may arise and which clauses will protect the client.

Our objective is to reduce conflict risk, establish clear rules and create a strong legal position if obligations are breached.

What Should Be Addressed in Advance

— The parties, commercial objective;
— obligations;
— timing;
— evidence of delivery or performance;
— payments;
— counterparty warranties;
— liability;
— termination rights and dispute-resolution mechanism should be determined before drafting.

Without these terms, even a signed contract may be a weak instrument of protection.
