Words that hold up in a boardroom or a courtroom.
In-house lawyers and Company Secretaries drafting commercial contracts, corporate agreements, compliance policies and regulatory documents — with CA input on any financial terms.
A poorly drafted contract, policy or board resolution can create liability that costs far more to fix than to prevent. Our drafting practice combines the legal precision of enrolled lawyers with the compliance knowledge of practising Company Secretaries — and where a document has financial or tax implications, our CA team reviews those terms too.
We draft for transactions, for compliance and for governance. Every document is tailored to your specific situation — not pulled from a template library.

Frequently asked
Questions about Drafting Services.
Online templates are generic and often outdated. A poorly drafted clause can become unenforceable or create unintended liability. The cost of a properly drafted contract is almost always less than the cost of a dispute over a bad one.
2–3 working days for standard forms. Complex agreements (SHA, investment docs) typically take 5–10 working days for a first draft.
