I will negotiate a contract for you

Contracts, Agreements, Pacts, Leases, Undertakings, Covenants, Treaties…. Occasionally I get asked to comment on a contract of a very technical or local nature and I refer people to someone else.

Yes, my contracts are designed to be used in a court. However, a well written comprehensive contract between two parties of goodwill should never need to be taken to court.

My contracts define the exact relationship between the parties, what their responsibilities are, how and when they should pay each other, what information should be shared etc etc There should be no room for interpretation or discussion about the terms during the life of the contract and beyond.

Absolutely. Their marketing promises are why you decided to contract with them, so their promises should be included. I read their websites very carefully and include any promises that they make in the contract - of course. Why not? That is why you chose to do business with them!!!!

Sometimes contracts will be written after long negotiations. I bring a new eye, a fresh perspective, an independent view and I have no emotional baggage. I think the contract through from start to finish again - this is a big advantage. I have negotiated many contracts.

Yes, it will only take you a minute or two. The lessons in my paper come from long experience. I can almost guarantee that they will attempt to use some of these points to try and 'snow' you. Take a copy of this paper to your next negotiation meeting. You will be fore warned and fore armed.

Of course you can. Some of my clients do ask their lawyer, some of my clients do not ask their lawyer. Your call! The lawyer will cost 10 times my price, at least! My contracts are much more comprehensive and business like!!!! Some people now employ both their lawyer and me every time.

No. In most jurisdictions , anyone can write a contract or comment on a contract. A lawyer writes your contract so you will win in court but I write your contract to ensure that the working relationship is a success - AND you will win in court.

The smallest contract I ever wrote was $950. The largest contract was 5 billion Euros (that is over 5 billion dollars!). Neither of the parties spoke very good English and so I was the communicating agent as well.

Yes I do. International Contracts have different emphases. They have extra clauses to protect you.
