Drafting construction contracts is infinitely more complex than signing, which happens in mere seconds. Essentially, the overall agreement aim is to establish the obligation of the parties and avoid misunderstandings. Concise, clear, and watertight contracts are essential for the progress of any project, therefore when drafting, we first determine areas of greatest concern.
At Adine Abro, our documents cut to the heart of transactions, clearly allocating risks and responsibilities. By always encouraging a relationship of open dialogue, we’re able to understand our clients’ commercial commitments and goals, ultimately playing the role of true partner, always adding maximum value.
Addressing a wide range of issues, well-drafted contracts clearly identify the duties of the parties, allocate risk between the players, and curtail unnecessary disputes during and after project completion.
