Vertragsgestaltung: Gestaltung und Rechtsberatung zu Verträgen

Contract law and contract drafting

The basis for economic and social cooperation

Every day, we conclude private or business contracts in different types. These conventions regulate at different levels the social interaction and orderly dealings of different parties with one another. The formulation of contracts takes place within the framework of the legally possible, always with an eye to the future.

So regeln Verträge, mündlich oder schriftlich, beispielsweise den Kauf und Verkauf von Produkten, das Verhältnis von Mietern zu ihren Vermieter oder aber auch den Umgang und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Unternehmen. A goal-oriented and solidly defined cooperation according to clear rules of the game is also in oursociety with freedom of contractas the absolute basis for successful political ,social and economic action . Ein erfolgreicher Vertragsschluss ist dementsprechend jener Vertrag, der bei der Vertragsgestaltung stets das Ziel und die Interesse aller Vertragsparteien im Auge hat. Thus, for an effective conclusion of a contract all parties are to be regarded as equal “partners” in the preservation of their interests and in the realisation of the purpose.

We advise Pprivate individuals and companies in the drafting of contracts, examine existing contracts and represent our clients in the compliance and enforcement of their contractual claims.

Drafting contracts: Towards the goal with a methodical approach

Each contract is as individual as the purpose for which it is concluded. For this reason, a methodical procedure and a individual examination of the contractual circumstances is absolutely necessary when re-drafting contracts. Even unilateral legal transactions, such as wills, fall within the scope of contractual drafting and must be carefully drafted and reviewed in the light of their individual circumstances.

When drafting contracts, theintensive exchange about the reason and the intentions of the contract conclusion at the beginning of the cooperation is of utmost importance. A clear definition of the aim of the contract is essential for the further development of the contract before the first draft contract is drawn up. After a successful target definition, we then draw up an initial draft contract for our clients, which is designed according to the object of the contractand the individual legal situation. The preceding examination of the structuring options under consideration of the client’s objectives provides the framework for the drafting of the contract.

Dieser erste Vertragsentwurf kann, sofern vom Mandanten gewünscht, bereits mit dem Vertragspartner besprochen werden und stellt die Grundlage weiterer vertraglicher Anpassungen dar. We advise our clients with regard to their negotiating position and possible legal and economic risks during initial contract negotiations. In addition, we also take over initial contract negotiations for our clients representatively and represent their position to their business partners. Eine Verhandlungsstrategie sowie eine detaillierte Roadmap zur Durchsetzung Ihres Vertragszieles ist hierbei maßgeblich für den Verhandlungserfolg und wird im Vorfeld mit dem Auftraggeber detailliert ausgearbeitet.

When drafting and especially when negotiating contracts, it is important that a unilateral approach without taking into account the objectives and interests of the contracting parties will not be crowned with success. A good contractual relationship is balanced for all parties and protects the basic interests of the parties involved.

After successful contract negotiations, the final drafting of the contract and a final review with regard to legal, economic and practical aspects is carried out. We would be pleased to assist you in the drafting and negotiation of contracts or to review and evaluate existing contracts.
