WHAT IS THE PROCESS IN DRAFTING LEGAL 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, including:

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 needs 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
