Contracts are the backbone of business transactions, ensuring legal security and defining the rights and obligations of parties involved.

Contracts are legally binding documents that can have significant financial and legal implications. Failing to properly draft, review, or negotiate contracts can lead to legal disputes and costly litigation, unintended liability, enforcement challenges and so on.
