Abstract

This article examines effective contract drafting principles and practices, focusing on clarity, enforceability, and dispute minimisation. Through critical analysis and comparative jurisdictional approaches, key elements of effective contract drafting are identified, including clarity, precision, and plain language. The findings suggest that clear, enforceable contracts minimise disputes, promote trust, and enhance contractual certainty.
