Contract Drafting
Definition of Contract Drafting
Contract drafting is the process of preparing a written document that records and formalizes the agreement between two or more parties. It outlines the rights and obligations of each party in accordance with the regulations governing the specific type of contract.
At Alhukok Law Firm, we place great emphasis on contract drafting for our clients due to its vital role in safeguarding their rights—whether individuals or companies—in cases involving sales contracts, contracting agreements, partnerships, or others.



Types of Contract Drafting
Types of Contract Drafting
Contract drafting varies depending on the nature of the legal relationship it regulates. However, it can generally be classified into several main types, keeping in mind that these categories may overlap:
Standard Contracts:
Pre-prepared contracts used by major companies and institutions that often include non-negotiable terms, which may negatively affect consumer interests.
Simple Contracts:
Used in minor, straightforward commercial transactions. They include only basic terms and are characterized by clarity and conciseness, saving time and effort in execution.
Electronic Contracts:
Concluded online, known for their speed and convenience. They require legal safeguards to protect the parties’ rights, such as electronic signatures.
Administrative Contracts
These are contracts where the state or a public legal entity is a party, typically related to the operation or organization of a public facility, and include exceptional conditions not usually found in civil contracts.
Detailed Contracts:
These contracts are drafted specifically to meet the needs of their parties. They include precise details about rights and obligations and are used in large and complex commercial transactions such as investment and contracting agreements.”
