Legal review can identify unclear obligations, hidden risk and enforcement problems before a contract becomes binding. Under Nepal's National Civil Code, a legally enforceable agreement creates binding legal relations between the parties.
Key areas to review
- identity and authority of parties
- scope of goods or services
- price and payment
- delivery and performance standards
- deadlines
- warranties
- termination
- liability
- indemnity
- confidentiality
- intellectual property
- dispute resolution
- governing law
- force majeure
- notice provisions
- remedies for breach
Many commercial disputes begin with unclear drafting rather than deliberate wrongdoing.
