Drafting Contracts 

Contracts, or agreements, are the basis of business relations and regulate the obligations between the parties. There are many types of contracts, including:

• Sale and purchase agreement: provides for the transfer of ownership of goods from the seller to the buyer for a certain fee.
• Lease agreement: allows the lessee to temporarily use the lessor's property for a set fee.
• Work contract: the contractor undertakes to perform a certain work or provide a service for the customer, who, in turn, undertakes to pay for the result of the work.
• Loan agreement: one party provides the other party with money or things that must be returned within a specified period.
• Donation agreement: involves the gratuitous transfer of property or rights from the donor to the donee.
• Employment contract: regulates the relationship between the employer and the employee, establishing the working conditions, duties and rights of the parties.
• Marriage contract: defines the property rights and duties of the spouses.

We conduct a legal audit of the contract to determine and record the duties and responsibilities of each party. Our approach includes:

• Analysis of the subject of the contract - a clear definition of what services or goods are provided.
• Responsibilities of the parties - division of responsibilities, including deadlines, scope of work and specifications.
• Fulfilment and control mechanisms - definition of key indicators and conditions for the fulfillment of obligations.
• Responsibility for non-fulfilment - penalties, fines, the possibility of terminating the contract in case of non-fulfilment of conditions.
• Arbitration and litigation - indication of the dispute resolution mechanism.

In this way, we ensure that the contract protects the interests of the client and complies with the legislation of Azerbaijan.

We include clearly formulated force majeure clauses in contracts, taking into account:

• List of circumstances – wars, natural disasters, epidemics, government bans and other insurmountable circumstances.
• Notification procedure – terms and procedure for informing the other party about the occurrence of force majeure.
• Exemption from liability – we clarify which obligations are suspended or terminated.
• Duration of force majeure – determining the period during which the contract can be suspended or revised.
• Settlement procedure – a mechanism for revising the terms or terminating the contract if the situation has dragged on.

Thus, a force majeure clause protects the parties from unjustified risks.
