    Operations

    Draft n Craft’s process of authoring, reviewing, negotiating, and executing contracts involves several critical stages, each essential for ensuring that contracts are comprehensive, fair, and legally binding. Below is an overview of each stage:

    • Contract Administration and Archival: We manage and monitor contracts to ensure all parties fulfil their contractual obligations right from ensuring that the terms and conditions of the contract are implemented as agreed, to coordinating with relevant departments (e.g., finance, procurement, legal) to execute the contract. We conduct periodic performance review by using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure performance and identify areas for improvement. We also handle amendments, variations, or change orders to the contract as needed, and address and resolve any disputes or issues that arise during the contract term. Storing completed or terminated contracts and related documents for future reference and compliance purposes in a centralized, secure repository to ensure easy access and retrieval, further implementing access controls to restrict unauthorized access to sensitive contract information. These contracts/documents are well catalogued and indexed to facilitate quick and efficient search and retrieval. To keep a check on the stored documents, Draft n Craft implements data backup and recovery procedures to protect contract information from loss or damage.
    • Authoring Contracts: We utilize and customize standardized templates to ensure consistency and compliance with organizational policies and legal standards. We further draft clear and precise clauses covering essential terms.
    • Reviewing Contracts: Draft n Craft’s review involves a detailed examination of the contract to identify potential issues and ensures it meets the necessary standards by conducting a thorough legal review to ensure the contract is enforceable and complies with applicable laws, assesses potential risks associated with the contract terms, including financial, operational, and compliance risks, by mostly evaluating the effectiveness and fairness of key clauses, such as payment terms, liability limits, and performance metrics and ensuring all critical aspects of the contractual arrangement are adequately covered.
    • Negotiating Contracts: Preparing a strategy, including identifying priorities, acceptable trade-offs, fallback positions, and gathering necessary data and documentation to support negotiation points. We ensure all internal stakeholders are aligned on negotiation objectives and authorized limits before engaging in discussions with the counterparty to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
    • Executing Contracts: Conducting a final review of the contract to ensure all negotiated terms are accurately reflected and then coordinating the signing of the contract by authorized representatives from all parties.
