A good contract does not regulate the normal case, but the exceptional case: What happens in the event of default, defects, termination, or dispute? It is precisely there that the decision is made whether a contract protects your company or merely describes the cooperation.

Liability clauses limit risks — but only if they are worded validly. Delivery and performance terms establish clear rules about scope, deadlines, and acceptance. Payment terms determine your liquidity, termination provisions your planning certainty. Confidentiality agreements protect know-how, while provisions on dispute resolution and place of jurisdiction determine how expensive a conflict becomes.
In practice, these points are often copied from old contracts. The result is clauses that suited the business of that time but no longer fit today’s — or that are invalid in a T&C context and are then replaced by the statutory rules, which are often less favorable than what one believed had been agreed.
We therefore structure contracts based on risk: what could go wrong, how likely is it, how much does it cost — and which clause covers it? This applies to the framework agreement with a major customer as well as to the T&Cs of an online store.
Not every contract needs to be reviewed. A review makes sense whenever the economic volume is high, the term is long, the other party is significantly larger, or the contract is clearly one-sided. Even for contract types you are concluding for the first time — such as your first distribution or license agreement — a review almost always pays off.
The brief for the review should not be “is this legally okay?” but “where are my risks and what do I negotiate first?”. This prioritization is the real value of a legal contract review: afterwards, you know which three points you need to push through — and which ten you can safely let stand.
Contracts are increasingly being concluded digitally. Electronic signatures are available in various forms that differ in evidentiary value and effort. For some legal transactions, formal requirements still apply that call for a specific type of signature or the written form.
We determine the appropriate form for each contract type in your company and set up the process so that it remains verifiable in the event of a dispute: from identifying the signatories to archiving and documenting the versions of the contracts.
AI tools quickly produce text that sounds plausible. What they do not provide is knowledge of your business model, your negotiating position, and which clause is valid in the specific T&C context. An invalid limitation of liability is worse than none at all, because it creates a false sense of security.
The reverse approach makes sense: AI assists with research, structuring, and initial evaluation of large contract portfolios; the legal responsibility remains with the lawyer. This is exactly how we use these tools in our firm.
