Limited-scope online service
Contract review, drafting and negotiation support
Legal assessment, drafting and negotiation support before signing or changing an agreement. We agree your objective, concession limits and the documents recording the outcome.
The problem you need to resolve
- a draft is available or the terms for a new document have been agreed
- amendments or an addendum are required
What you receive
- an agreed draft, explanations and client decisions
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- one agreement within the written agreed task
- transaction model, key clauses and risk
- a new draft or amended version
Legal support during negotiations
- Before the meeting, identify the transaction, participant authority, mandatory terms and decisions reserved to you.
- Prepare comments or revised wording and compare payment, security, timing, acceptance, liability and termination options.
- Attend agreed meetings or correspondence, record settled and open points and review the final text and annexes.
- Deliverables may include a negotiation position, disagreement schedule and agreed draft. Authority to negotiate does not automatically authorise signing on your behalf.
- Signing powers, corporate approvals, notarisation and registration require separate checks. Post-signing performance monitoring is a separately agreed stage.
Gift agreements: form and subsequent steps
- Identify the property, parties, authority and restrictions, including co-owner or child-related issues.
- A gift and a will serve different purposes; the document must reflect the intended transaction.
- Article 719 requires a written, notarised agreement for a gift of real estate. Registration and tax review are separate steps.
- A lawyer’s draft does not itself notarise the agreement or transfer registered title.
What we need from you
- editable agreement if available
- commercial terms and schedules
- party details and communications
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fees depend on the facts and scope of support. After a short discussion, we explain what the work includes and its cost. Fees are agreed before work begins.
- A possible first stage is a written action plan: review of agreed documents, legal assessment, next steps, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Additional objectives, extensive materials and foreign-language documents are discussed separately.
- Court fees and other mandatory payments are separate from the lawyer's fee. Notarial, translation, valuation and expert costs are also agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
- the preparation period starts after receipt of the complete file
When this service is not suitable
- cross-border, tax, corporate or regulated transactions require a separate scope
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval

Frequently asked questions
Can drafting prevent every dispute?
No. Future party conduct cannot be controlled.
Can an agreement be drafted without a template?
Yes, where the purpose, essential terms and required form are known.
When does the preparation period start?
After the written task is agreed and the complete file is received.
Can drafting be a separate service?
Yes. The document and scope are agreed separately from notarial, registration and tax work.
Can the advocate approve every concession without me?
Authority limits and decisions reserved to you are agreed in advance. Commercial terms and commitments require approval by the authorised person.
