Contract Killers: The Importance of a Contract Lawyer

Hello,
While litigation related news manages to grab people's eyeballs on a day to day basis, the workings of those lawyers that are involved in contract negotiations are no less intriguing or complex. Given that an executed contract, is the foundation stone of a business relationship, it is imperative that the counsels involved in the negotiation, drafting and execution of a contract ensure that the said contract is ironclad to safegfuard either party's interests; at the same time; is flexible enough to allow variations in relations to changing market scenarios.

Such seemingly diverse requirements, are especially critical in outsourcing contracts, given that such contracts are: a) multi-jurisdictional, b) long-term c) required to account for change in resources utilised.

With this in view, future episodes of the "Contract Killers" series will focus on some of the key terminolgies that find place in such contracts.

The Blindfold comes off..

Hello!

This blog is an earnest attempt to ponder into the day-to-day legal issues that surround us. It is an effort to show that law (and violations thereof) are not just restricted to the judiciary but can be found all around us in day to day circumstances.
As a lawyer having previous experience in the IT/Retail/Financial Services Sectors, the blog is my attempt to interpret some of the contemporary issues thrown up in these sectors.

It is said that justice is blind; so wish me luck as I attemp to remove the blindfold!!
