Instruments
Drafting of legal instruments
Leases, employment contracts, partnerships, settlements: documents drafted to hold.
Your situation
You signed a commercial lease and have just discovered an indexation clause you had not weighed. Or you are about to sign, and the document comes from the other side. A badly drafted contract does not show on signing day: it is paid for two years later, when the relationship sours and each party rereads the text.
What we do
We draft your instruments, or review the ones put to you. Either way, we point out what binds you, what is missing, and what will be turned against you.
- Commercial and residential leases
- Employment contracts, internship agreements, negotiated terminations
- Partnership and services agreements
- Acknowledgements of debt and settlement agreements
- Formal notices, summonses to comply, powers of attorney
5 steps
How it works
-
We establish the requirement
What you want to achieve, what you want to avoid, and what the other party expects.
-
We prepare a draft
A first text, built on our templates and fitted to your situation.
-
A second lawyer reviews it
No instrument is delivered without this review. It is an internal rule, and it admits no exception.
-
You send us your comments
The draft reaches you in your client area. We incorporate your observations.
-
We deliver the final version
Ready to sign, with the steps to follow for registration where the instrument requires it.
The deliverable
What you receive
The final instrument, in editable and signable formats, with a note explaining the sensitive clauses in plain language. You know what you are signing.
Quote first
What it costs
Every situation differs, and we do not publish a price that would fit no one. You receive a costed quote before any work begins: it states the amount, the timescale and what is included. Nothing starts without your written agreement.
- A costed quote before any work
- Nothing starts without your written agreement
- Every document filed in your client area
- Quote issued within 48 business hours.

Frequently asked questions
The ones we are asked most often about this area. Yours is not here? Write to us: acknowledgement goes out within 24 business hours.
Write to usCan you review a contract that was sent to me?
Yes. It is the most frequent request, and the most useful: reviewing before signing costs a fraction of what a dispute costs.
How long does drafting a contract take?
The time is stated before we begin and appears in your client area. It depends above all on how quickly you send us the documents.
What if the other party refuses a clause?
We tell you whether the clause is negotiable, what you lose by dropping it, and what to replace it with.
Do you draft in English?
Yes, for international partnership agreements. The French version prevails unless otherwise stipulated, and we draw your attention to this before signature.
