DOCUMENT ARCHITECTURE
The signature page is the end of the drafting process, not the beginning.
Commercial terms first
Unresolved business positions cannot be repaired through decorative legal language.
Entity authority matters
Signatories, board powers and shareholder approvals should support execution.
Risk should be allocated deliberately
Liability, indemnity, confidentiality and termination should reflect the real deal.
Operations must be able to perform
A contract succeeds when finance, sales and delivery teams can follow it.

COMMON MISTAKES
Avoid preventable delays, rework and scope gaps.
Starting with a random template
Generic language can miss the actual relationship.
Leaving economics ambiguous
Payment, ownership and contribution terms should be explicit.
Ignoring existing constitutional documents
Articles and prior agreements may affect the new document.
No change-control mechanism
Long relationships need a process for changes.
Signing the wrong version
Version control and annexures matter.
Forgetting post-signing actions
Approvals, registers, filings and notices may remain due.
RISK CONTROL
Unwritten assumptions become expensive when the relationship changes.
Control the key positions before performance, funding, confidential disclosure or ownership changes make renegotiation harder.- Overbroad definitionIdentify the position, agree the allocation and preserve the approval and execution record.
- No permitted-use limitIdentify the position, agree the allocation and preserve the approval and execution record.
- Uncontrolled onward disclosureIdentify the position, agree the allocation and preserve the approval and execution record.
- Weak return or deletion processIdentify the position, agree the allocation and preserve the approval and execution record.
