Contract Drafting and Reviewing

In any business deal, a contract is always a solid basis for the parties’ execution of their rights and obligations. Moreover, the contract can help the parties avoid a pointless dispute. In case the dispute is inevitable, the contract shall be a firm ground for the parties to solve the dispute.

When it comes to the dispute, the parties can only rely on what had been contained in the contract but cannot add any contents in favor of them. Therefore, contract drafting and reviewing are crucial not just to secure the parties’ performance of their obligations but also to be a solid legal basis to solve the dispute.
