A quick self-check

Contract readiness check

Check five key points in an agreement you’re preparing or reviewing. Your answers stay in this browser and aren’t sent anywhere.

Is the agreement recorded in writing?

Does it state when and how payment is due?

Have you considered who carries liability if something goes wrong?

Does it explain how either party can end the arrangement?

Does it say who owns work, materials or intellectual property?

This check is general information, not legal advice. A clause can have a different effect depending on the full agreement and the facts.

The working process

Know what happens next.

Each instruction starts with a conversation about the commercial arrangement and the result you need. The work begins only after the scope and fee are agreed.

Talk through an agreement

Clear steps. No surprises.

  1. 01

    Initial discussion

    Explain who is involved, what the commercial arrangement covers and what you need the document to do. A phone call or email is a good start.

  2. 02

    Written scope and fee

    Receive a written outline of the work, what is included and the agreed fee before drafting or review begins.

  3. 03

    First draft or review

    The agreement is prepared or examined under Irish law. Key clauses can be explained in plain language so you can see the practical effect.

  4. 04

    Comments and negotiation

    Use the agreed revision round to raise questions and address changes proposed by the other party, where included in scope.

  5. 05

    Final document

    Receive the completed version and a concise explanation of the obligations it sets out, ready for the parties to consider signing.

Common contract problems

Where clearer terms make a difference.

These illustrative situations show the kinds of gaps a well-scoped contract can address.

These are examples, not claims about completed client work or guaranteed outcomes. The right approach depends on the facts and the agreement.
Technology and software

When project scope keeps changing

A development agreement can set out deliverables, acceptance, change requests, maintenance responsibilities and ownership of work product.

Food and supply

When orders cross several relationships

Supplier and reseller terms can define order processes, payment dates, delivery responsibilities and how product complaints are handled.

Founder arrangements

When a company has more than one founder

Written terms can record equity, decision-making, responsibilities and what happens if a founder leaves or the business changes direction.

Client services

When a client relationship starts informally

Service terms can make payment, cancellations, agreed work and intellectual property easier to understand before a disagreement arises.

Specific facts change the answer.

Good contract language makes responsibilities easier to see.
Direct access to drafting expertise

A real conversation before the clauses.

At Róisín's Bespoke Contracts, the person drafting the agreement also discusses the commercial arrangement with you. That keeps the document connected to how the work, payment and decision-making will happen in practice.

  • Plain-English explanations of important terms and practical risks.
  • Confidential handling of commercial information, with scope discussed before work starts.
  • Data processing terms can be considered where personal data is part of the arrangement.

Client privacy comes first

Your contract details stay private.

Commercial agreements can contain sensitive pricing, customer information and business plans. Enquiries and documents are handled confidentially; client comments are not published here without permission.

Discretion matters.

Before you get in touch

Contract questions, answered.

A few useful things to know before discussing a new document or one you’ve received.

Do I need a custom contract or can I use standard terms?

Standard terms may suit a straightforward arrangement, but they can miss details about your work, payment, risk or ownership. A discussion can help identify whether drafting or review is appropriate.

Explore contract drafting
What should I send before the first discussion?

Outline the parties, the deal, the main risks and any document already in use. Don’t send sensitive attachments until you’ve agreed a suitable way to share them.

Start an enquiry
How long does drafting or review take?

Timing depends on the document, its length, the information available and the scope agreed. A timeframe can be discussed once the work is understood.

Ask about your document
Can you review an agreement sent by a supplier or client?

Yes. A review can examine the wording and explain points such as liability, payment, termination, intellectual property and confidentiality.

See review support
How are fees and work scope agreed?

You receive written confirmation of the proposed scope and fee before work begins. If the work changes, the scope can be discussed before additional work is undertaken.

Discuss the scope
Is a data processing agreement the same as wider GDPR advice?

No. A data processing agreement sets out terms for a particular data-processing relationship. Broader data protection compliance involves separate questions and may require a different scope.

Explore data processing agreements
Can an Irish-law contract cover cross-border work?

It may be possible, but governing law, jurisdiction and mandatory rules in other countries need careful consideration. The parties and countries involved affect the answer.

Discuss a cross-border agreement
What if I need founder or shareholder documents?

Founder arrangements can address ownership, decisions, roles and what happens when circumstances change. The appropriate documents depend on the company and its plans.
