Contract consulting in general and commercial contract drafting consulting in particular require a great deal of skill and in-depth knowledge of the specific field to which the contract pertains, as well as relevant legal regulations. When consulting on contracts, the consultant or drafter must not only safeguard the interests of the parties but also anticipate future risks to adjust contract clauses to fit practical circumstances and legal provisions.
Moreover, the role of contracts in business transactions is increasingly important because an enterprise’s contractual partners are mostly professional businesspeople who are very knowledgeable about the law concerning contract content, as well as regulations on invalid contracts and dispute resolution. With a team of lawyers who are well-versed in business and commercial law and have extensive practical experience in enterprise operations, VN Law Firm will provide comprehensive support to clients in contract drafting consulting, assisting them in the process of negotiation, signing, and contract performance in business.
