General Services

To avoid ambiguity and ensure the parties are aligned on their obligations and responsibilities, every transaction should have documented suitable terms and conditions setting out rules of engagement, the agreed scope of works, the required schedule and provide a safety net if things go wrong. Our contracts are drafted in plain English, appropriately allocate risk, and protect your interests. We can work with you to draft suitable terms and conditions, conduct contract reviews and provide contract summaries, develop negotiation strategies or shadow draft correspondence. 

We can build a suite of contract templates, tailored to your business and industry, supporting you to standardise your contracting risk profile and enable the business to act quickly with contracts that are well understood by your team.  

If you need to safely exit a contract or deal and move on to your next business adventure with minimal disruption to your operations, EJD Advisory can also provide advice on contractual obligations to ensure you understand the best contract termination process suitable to you to minimise the risk of a dispute. 

Whether you are navigating a business-critical transaction or implementing new legal, risk or compliance frameworks, we can jump in and help support the project from initial kick-off to close-out. We provide senior in-house lawyers to deliver guidance and drive outcomes for key projects, ensuring you can remain focused on core business as usual operations.

Efficient and effective corporate governance ensures the company has implemented a fit for purpose framework of systems, practices and policies that guide and direct decision making, identify and manage risk, drive accountability and business ethical standards. We assist businesses to develop and implement suitable operating practices aligning to good governance that effectively safeguard and empower business performance.
