Introduction

Drafting of one kind or another is the staple of every lawyer’s job. Contract drafting raises some special problems in that it looks to the future conduct of the parties and seeks to create obligations within the framework of the law to meet the respective parties’ commercial expectations. In this booklet, and the seminar which accompanies it, the presenters seek to enter into a dialogue as to the manner in which these expectations can best be met. It is suggested that this is a complex task which requires a grasp of the language of law and industry, an ability to marshal that language in a concise and accurate manner, an understanding of the needs of the respective parties, and a knowledge of the limits that the law places on what can be achieved in a contractual framework.
