Sometimes, customers call me and say, finish with your wording, we need to sign this damn contract. But I always do my job to the end. Because I may not always be right, but I’m never wrong

Legal assistance is a professional activity of lawyers aimed at assisting citizens and legal entities in resolving issues related to the implementation of the rule of law, which is expressed in the provision of legal services.

What’s wrong with the contract
“Do not sign the contract until you read the text to the letter”, “Do nothing until you sign the contract” – these rules are written in tears, sweat and blood. Therefore, there is always a temptation to make the contract as concrete in terms of reliability as possible.

The problem is that it is not clear which contract is considered reinforced concrete. Let’s say you’re instructing a lawyer to read a contract with a client. The lawyer reads an hour and returns without editing: sign, everything is fine.

Clients are confused by this answer: either the lawyer did not read the contract, or he does not know the laws and did not notice errors. It is calmer when the lawyer sends the contract in edits. With a bunch of edits, it seems to the client that the lawyer did a good job and the contract is about to become reinforced concrete. In practice, this is not the case.

When a client sees a bunch of edits, it seems to him that the lawyer did a good job

But the lawyer of the second party will also make corrections and will argue with the corrections of your lawyer. For example, your lawyer shortens the period when you can complain about the quality of work and refuse to pay. The lawyer on the other side is against it, and the signing of the contract is delayed.

It turns out that you need a reliable contract, but there is no time to waste. The team is already charged to work, the project is in the plan, the next clients are next in line, whom they also don’t want to let down. You have three options: start a project without a contract, wait for the formalities, spit on the lawyer’s corrections and sign the contract. All three are equally bad, but there is another solution – to analyze the risks.

The lawyer analyzes each clause in the contract on a dangerous-probable scale. If there is no risk for the client in the paragraph, the lawyer leaves it. If it can harm, rejects and corrects the wording. As a result, everything is important for you and your clients in the contract. Therefore, the client signs the contract faster, and you do not waste time in vain. Such an agreement is reinforced concrete.
