Negotiate the Contract - Draft, Negotiate and Review Contractual Provisions

An effective and smooth negotiation is one where both parties are on an equal footing in terms of access to information, technical expertise and an understanding of the available options.

A contract which is well-drafted, responsive to changing circumstances and fair to both parties is most likely to be sustainable and mutually beneficial to both parties.
