When you may need help
A counterparty proposes its own contract, asks you to sign urgently or uses foreign law. A review should answer practical questions: what counts as performance, when payment becomes due and what to do in a breach. We help identify material risks and prepare clear amendments.
What we can do
- Analyse the subject, payments, acceptance and parties’ liability.
- Check signing authority and dispute resolution terms within the agreed scope.
- Draft revised clauses or a contract for your transaction.
What to prepare for the consultation
- Draft contract, appendices, specifications and correspondence on terms.
- Details of the parties, transaction subject and planned payments.
- Your priorities: deadlines, advance payment, quality, rights to results or limits of liability.
If some documents are missing, start by describing the situation: we will identify what else needs to be obtained. In the first form, the country, the nature of the matter and important dates are enough; document numbers and scans are not needed.
What to bear in mind
Legal review does not replace commercial assessment of the transaction or financial due diligence on the counterparty. For foreign law, we agree on any necessary local expertise.
Process and cost
- You describe the situation and the outcome you want.
- We clarify the circumstances, the country and the documents needed for review.
- Before paid work begins, we agree on its scope, cost and format: consultation, document preparation or representation.
The cost depends on the volume of documents, the stage of the case and the need for involvement in another country. Court fees, notarial acts, translations and expert assessments are discussed separately if required. The outcome depends on the circumstances, evidence and decisions of the competent authorities.
Frequently asked question
What will the review produce?
We will agree on the format: a list of risks and questions, comments on the text or a proposed revised contract. The final contents depend on the volume of documents and purpose of the transaction.
Can I get help with “Contract review and drafting” if I live abroad?
We can start remotely while you are abroad. In your first message, state where you live and where the relevant party, property or authority is located. We will check whether a representative can take particular steps and whether the procedure requires your personal participation.
Does my country of residence decide which law applies to “Contract review and drafting”?
No. Your place of residence alone does not decide which law applies. Relevant factors can include the countries connected to the parties, where an event or contractual duty took place, where property is located and which authority is handling the matter. We first check the connection to Ukraine, the potentially applicable law and whether local counsel in another country is needed.
What if I do not have all the documents for “Contract review and drafting”?
You do not need a complete file to make an initial inquiry. Give us a short timeline, your desired outcome, important dates and a list of the documents you already have. Document numbers and scans are not needed in the first inquiry; after clarifying the facts, we will identify what is missing.
What determines the cost of help with “Contract review and drafting”, and can I limit the scope?
Before paid work begins, we agree on its format, specific steps, deliverables and fee. The cost depends on the materials, stage of the matter and any work involving another country. Court or official fees, notarial acts, translations and expert reviews are discussed separately if needed.
Can you guarantee the outcome or timeframe for “Contract review and drafting”?
No. We cannot promise a decision by a court or authority, or the actions of another party. After reviewing the facts, we explain the available options, evidence needed, risks and the timing of our own work. The overall duration can also depend on other parties, authorities and cross-border procedures; tell us promptly about notices and dates.
