Contract Review

Sharpening Your Contracts Before You Sign the Dotted Line.

A contract’s risks are often hidden between the lines. What seems acceptable on the surface can expose you to delay penalties, payment issues, unfair liabilities, or unenforceable terms. Mian Sheraz Javaid (MSJ) provides meticulous contract review services that go beyond surface-level checks—helping clients uncover hidden exposures, improve commercial clarity, and enter agreements from a position of strength.

Our Approach

We approach every contract review as a strategic opportunity—one to reduce risk, tighten language, and ensure alignment between what's written and what’s intended. MSJ works closely with your internal teams to understand the operational and commercial realities behind the contract, providing practical, clause-specific feedback that safeguards your position without stalling the deal.

Insight

Having advised on major infrastructure and commercial contracts across jurisdictions, MSJ knows where the blind spots usually lie: vague scope definitions, aggressive indemnity clauses, silent termination rights, or timelines that don't reflect project realities. His rare combination of legal, technical, and dispute resolution expertise allows him to review contracts with a multidimensional lens—protecting you today and preparing you for tomorrow.

Why It Matters

  • Identify Hidden Risks Early: Unnoticed clauses can create liabilities that only surface mid-project—when it's too late to renegotiate.
  • Ensure Commercial Fairness: A careful review can uncover lopsided risk allocation and secure more balanced terms.
  • Strengthen Enforceability: Contracts need to work not just in theory, but in court or arbitration if disputes arise.
  • Close Gaps and Ambiguities: Incomplete or unclear provisions can lead to costly confusion—especially under pressure.

A final review can make the difference between a workable contract and a future dispute. Let us ensure yours is watertight.
