Contract Drafting & Review
Precise drafting and fast, commercially framed review of contracts of every size.
Contract review that only lists problems is of limited use. LexNova's review output tells you what the risk is, how likely it is to materialise, and what to ask for instead — in a form a commercial manager can act on without a call.
On drafting, we start from your actual commercial terms rather than a precedent, keep language plain, and make obligations, timelines and remedies unambiguous. Contracts written this way are cheaper to administer and far easier to enforce.

Frequently asked questions
- How quickly can a contract be reviewed?
- Routine agreements are typically returned within two to three working days; urgent deal documents can be turned around same-day where the scope is agreed in advance.
- Do you charge per contract or on retainer?
- Both models are available. Volume contract work is usually more economical on a monthly retainer with an agreed review allowance.
- How quickly can you turn around a contract review?
- Standard commercial documents are typically reviewed within two to three working days, with same-day turnaround available for time-critical deals. We confirm the timeline when the draft and the deal date are shared.
- What do you look for first in a review?
- Payment and price-revision terms, scope and acceptance, liability caps and exclusions, indemnities, termination and its consequences, IP ownership, confidentiality, and the dispute-resolution clause — the provisions that decide the outcome when the relationship fails.
- Do you provide a marked-up draft or just comments?
- Both: a tracked-changes redline with alternative wording plus a short issues note explaining the commercial risk behind each change, so decision-makers can settle positions without reading the whole document.
- Can you review contracts drafted in another jurisdiction?
- We review them for commercial risk and for how they will operate and be enforced in India, and we co-ordinate with foreign counsel where a local law opinion is required.
