Are you a young lawyer who is making first steps in contract drafting? Or you are mature in drafting some contracts and want to upskill yourself?

Contract drafting skill is a number one skill required by a lawyer. And this is true irrespective of whichever area of law you land in - whether it is corporate law, intellectual property, criminal law, M&A - whatever.

Get this: your employers or clients are going to be businesses. Businesses are set up to make profit and profit is generated by transactions. In order to crystallise obligations in any transaction, you need contracts.

Lawyers are required to draft contracts, agreements, notices, plaints, responses on a regular basis. Being able to draft and review contracts is a survival skill. Without this skill you’re unlikely to be chosen for hiring by either companies or law firms.

Instead of aiming to learn drafting during an internship, just imagine - what if you could show and offer really good drafting skills right at the time of your joining in and not only free up a lot of training time for your seniors, but also add up value to their work. This is the holy road to a PPO.

Or imagine being able to financially support yourself while you are still a law student, by undertaking freelancing work of contract drafting and vetting for clients not only in India, but also for other countries.

All this is possible just by learning one basic legal skill thoroughly - contract drafting.

And despite this obvious importance of contract drafting skills, what is the current picture?

You’ll be surprised to know that even law graduates are mostly clueless about how to draft a contract from scratch.

They may be able to explain the theory of contracts by rote, or tell what happens when a party breaches a contract but when asked to frame an indemnity clause for the firm, they will get nervous, puzzled and end up copy- pasting from a template which may or may not be suitable for use.

The biggest victims of such practices are the clients as a badly drafted contract can cost your client millions - remember, the enforceability depends on your drafting.

I am sure you don’t want that to happen to you in your career especially when it is so difficult to build a client base after you start practising. Such incidents may also make you lose other clients and that can just be the beginning of the downfall of your successful career in independent practice.

But wait, don’t you learn how to draft a contract only by actually drafting a contract?


So how do you learn it without facing the embarrassment of losing a client for faulty drafting?

Where do you start?

How do you reach out to freelancing clients to secure contract drafting assignments?
