When drafting contract proposals, make certain you have reviewed the following:
- Language should be as clear and concise as possible
- Punctuation is critical; a comma in the wrong place can completely change the meaning of a sentence
- When drafting language, it is important that your entire negotiating team understands the meaning and intent of the language you are presenting
- When presenting contract language, make certain that both sides understand the meaning of the proposed language
- If possible, work with your counterpart on drafting language so both sides will take responsibility in the final work product
