6 Elements Building a Good Contract

Slide Content

The slide presents a strategic approach to creating an effective contract, broken down into six key elements. Each element takes the viewer through a step in the contract development process: 1. Content covering the needs suggests that the contract must address the specific requirements of the involved parties. 2. Getting general approval by client implies a preliminary agreement or consensus from the client on the contract’s terms. 3. Reaching agreement indicates the finalization of discussions and the establishment of mutually acceptable terms. 4. Analyzing optional terms means scrutinizing additional terms that could be beneficial or offer flexibility. 5. Ensuring delivery capacity highlights the necessity to confirm that the deliverables can be provided as per the contract. 6. Ensuring legal approval emphasizes the importance of the contract complying with relevant legal standards and obtaining formal authorization.
