Contract Drafting Services by Expert Lawyers

Stop Using Template Contracts That Don’t Protect You

Every day, businesses across the world lose money, clients, and competitive advantage because of contracts that were vague, unenforceable, or simply not suited to the deal they were meant to govern.

A contract that was downloaded from a free template site or generated through AI. An NDA copied from a competitor’s website. A service agreement drafted in five minutes and never reviewed by a lawyer. These are not contracts, they are liability traps dressed up in legal language.

My Legal Pal’s Contract Drafting Services are built for a different standard. Every contract we draft is purpose-built for your specific deal, your specific jurisdiction, and your specific risk profile,  by experienced contract lawyers and legal professionals who understand both the law and the commercial realities of modern business.

Whether you are a SaaS startup in Bangalore closing its first enterprise deal, a consultancy in Dubai onboarding an international client, a tech company in London scaling its vendor relationships, a founder in New York bringing on co-founders, or an e-commerce brand in Sydney setting up a distribution network, My Legal Pal drafts contracts that protect you, hold up under scrutiny, and close deals faster.

Why Professionally Drafted Contracts Are Non-Negotiable

The True Cost of a Bad Contract

• A missing limitation of liability clause can expose your business to claims worth multiples of the deal value
• An absent IP assignment clause means the developer you paid retains ownership of what they built for you
• A vague payment terms clause gives your client room to delay indefinitely without legal consequence
• An unqualified non-compete clause may be unenforceable — or conversely, may bind you when you least expect it
• A boilerplate jurisdiction clause copied from a template may force you to litigate in a country where you have no presence

Professional contract drafting is not a legal formality. It is risk management, deal protection, and commercial strategy, all in one document.

Who We Serve

My Legal Pal’s contract drafting services are designed for businesses and individuals at every stage, across every major market:

🚀 Startups & Founders

From co-founder agreements and SAFE notes to SaaS terms and investor side letters , we help early-stage businesses build a clean, scalable legal foundation from day one.

🏢 SMEs & Growing Businesses

Vendor agreements, client service contracts, employment offer letters, NDAs, and distribution agreements — we handle the full contract stack for businesses scaling across borders.

💻 Tech Companies & SaaS Platforms

Software licensing agreements, API terms of use, data processing agreements (DPAs), platform terms and conditions, white-label agreements — drafted for the way modern tech deals actually work.

🏗️ Real Estate & Construction

Development agreements, construction contracts, lease deeds, joint development agreements (JDAs), and property management agreements across jurisdictions.

🌍 Cross-Border & International Businesses

Contracts that work across multiple jurisdictions — with appropriate choice of law, dispute resolution mechanisms (arbitration vs. litigation), and language that survives legal review in more than one country.

👤 Freelancers & Independent Consultants

Engagement letters, independent contractor agreements, intellectual property protection, and payment protection clauses that ensure you get paid and your work is protected.

Contract Drafting Services by Geography

🇺🇸 United States (USA)

We draft contracts compliant with US commercial law principles, including Delaware corporate law standards for startup documents, UCC-compatible sales agreements, and employment contracts that reflect at-will employment norms. Common requests include founder agreements, SaaS subscription agreements, consulting MSAs, NDAs, and investor documents for US-based or US-expanding businesses.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom (UK)

UK contracts require careful attention to English law principles, GDPR (UK-retained), and post-Brexit commercial considerations. We draft B2B service agreements, employment contracts, shareholder agreements, and commercial leases aligned with English and Welsh law standards, suitable for companies incorporated at Companies House.

🇦🇪 UAE & GCC

The UAE’s dual legal system — federal civil law and the Common Law frameworks of DIFC and ADGM free zones — requires specialist drafting. My Legal Pal drafts DIFC-compliant commercial contracts, ADGM-standard shareholder agreements, employment contracts under UAE Labour Law, and distribution agreements for businesses operating across the GCC region.

🇦🇺 Australia

Australian contract drafting must navigate the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), Fair Work obligations, and state-specific regulations. We assist with B2B services agreements, employment contracts, confidentiality deeds, technology agreements, and franchise documentation for Australian businesses and those entering the Australian market.

🌏 APAC (Asia-Pacific)

For businesses operating across Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the broader APAC region, we draft contracts that account for the significant legal diversity across these markets. Singapore-law governed contracts for regional holding structures, Hong Kong-law commercial agreements, and cross-border distribution and licensing deals are among our most frequent APAC mandates.

🇮🇳 India

Our home jurisdiction, with deep expertise across the Indian Contract Act, the Companies Act, FEMA, IP statutes, labour laws, and sector-specific regulations. We draft contracts for businesses at every stage, from early-stage startup agreements to large-scale commercial transactions and real estate developments across UP, Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and beyond.

Our Contract Drafting Services: What We Cover

1. Founder & Co-Founder Agreements

The most important contract a startup will ever sign — and one of the most frequently skipped. A well-drafted co-founder agreement covers equity vesting schedules, IP assignment to the company, roles and responsibilities, decision-making authority, founder exit mechanics, and non-compete obligations. Without it, a single co-founder departure can threaten the entire business.

2. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

Mutual and unilateral NDAs for business discussions, product demonstrations, employment onboarding, investor pitches, and M&A due diligence. We draft NDAs that are enforceable, jurisdiction-appropriate, and precisely scoped — avoiding the trap of over-broad or unenforceable confidentiality obligations.

3. Service Agreements & Master Service Agreements (MSAs)

The foundational contract for any service business. Our MSAs cover scope of work, deliverables, payment terms, intellectual property ownership, liability caps, indemnification, warranties, and termination rights — structured to protect both the service provider and the client.

4. SaaS Subscription Agreements & Software License Agreements

Built for the way software is actually sold and used today. Covers subscription terms, acceptable use policies, uptime SLAs, data ownership, limitation of liability, auto-renewal mechanics, and termination for convenience and cause. Compatible with both B2B and B2C SaaS models.

5. Employment Contracts & Offer Letters

Jurisdiction-aware employment agreements covering compensation, role definition, IP and invention assignment, confidentiality obligations, non-solicitation clauses, and termination procedures — drafted to comply with local employment law in India, the UK, the UAE, Australia, and beyond.

6. Independent Contractor & Freelancer Agreements

A critical document that defines the relationship correctly — protecting both parties from misclassification risk and ensuring IP ownership, payment terms, and confidentiality are clearly established. Essential for companies that engage freelancers, consultants, or gig workers.

7. Shareholders’ Agreements (SHA)

For companies with more than one shareholder, a Shareholders’ Agreement is the governance bible. We draft SHAs covering share transfer restrictions (right of first refusal, tag-along, drag-along), anti-dilution protections, board composition, reserved matters, dividend policy, and exit mechanisms — for private companies across India, the UK, Singapore, and the UAE.

8. Term Sheets & MOUs

Non-binding (and occasionally binding) term sheets and Memoranda of Understanding for investment rounds, joint ventures, acquisitions, and commercial partnerships. Drafted to capture commercial alignment while preserving negotiating flexibility.

9. Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) & Privacy Policies

Mandatory under GDPR (EU and UK), Australia’s Privacy Act, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), and equivalent frameworks across APAC. We draft DPAs, privacy policies, and cookie policies that are compliant, commercially sensible, and actually readable.

10. Vendor & Procurement Agreements

Purchase orders, vendor master agreements, supply chain contracts, and procurement frameworks — drafted to protect buyers from delivery failures, quality issues, and IP contamination, and to give vendors the clarity they need to perform.

11. Distributor & Reseller Agreements

For businesses expanding their reach through channel partners, distributors, or resellers — across India, the GCC, Southeast Asia, or globally. Covers territory rights, exclusivity, pricing, marketing obligations, IP licensing, and termination mechanics.

12. Joint Venture (JV) Agreements

Structuring the commercial and legal framework of a joint venture is complex. Our JV agreements address contributions, profit-sharing, governance, decision-making authority, IP ownership during and after the JV, and exit and wind-down provisions.

What Startups & Tech Companies Are Asking For

The legal landscape for technology businesses moves fast. These are the contract types seeing the highest demand growth in 2025:

🤖 AI & Machine Learning Agreements

As AI tools become embedded in products and workflows, contracts around AI software licensing, AI model training data rights, AI output ownership, and liability for AI-generated errors have become critical. We draft AI-specific agreements that address the unique IP, liability, and ethical questions that standard software contracts do not anticipate.

🔗 API License & Integration Agreements

Businesses that open their platforms via APIs need agreements that govern rate limits, acceptable use, data handling, SLA commitments, and termination rights for API consumers. Both API provider and API consumer-side agreements are in high demand.

🛡️ Cybersecurity & Incident Response Agreements

With data breach liability increasing globally, cybersecurity service agreements, managed security provider (MSSP) contracts, and incident response retainer agreements have become standard procurement documents for mid-market and enterprise businesses.

💰 SAFE Notes & Convertible Note Agreements

The Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) — popularised by Y Combinator — and its convertible note equivalent remain the standard early-stage investment instrument for startups in the USA, India, and increasingly across the UK and Southeast Asia. We draft SAFEs and convertible notes tailored to the applicable jurisdiction and investor expectations.

🌐 Remote Work & Distributed Team Contracts

With global remote hiring now standard, cross-border employment agreements, employer of record (EOR) arrangements, and remote contractor agreements that correctly navigate multi-jurisdictional employment and tax issues have become essential.

📱 Creator Economy & Influencer Marketing Agreements

Brands engaging content creators, influencers, and UGC (user-generated content) contributors need contracts covering content ownership, usage rights, exclusivity, disclosure obligations, and payment terms — drafted for the realities of digital platforms.

🏢 Equity Vesting & ESOP Agreements

As talent competition intensifies globally, Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) agreements, vesting schedules, cliff clauses, and good/bad leaver provisions are being formalised by startups much earlier in their growth journey.

Our Contract Drafting Process

Step 1 — Brief & Discovery

We begin with a structured intake conversation to understand your deal, your counterparty, your jurisdiction, your commercial priorities, and your key risk concerns. No generic questionnaires — a real conversation with a legal professional.

Step 2 — Drafting by Subject-Matter Experts

Your contract is drafted by a lawyer with specific experience in the relevant contract type and jurisdiction — not outsourced to a junior paralegal or generated from a template library.

Step 3 — Internal Review

Every contract undergoes a second-layer internal review for legal accuracy, commercial alignment, and enforceability before it reaches you.

Step 4 — Delivery & Walkthrough

We deliver the draft with a plain-language summary of key clauses, the protections built in, and any areas where negotiation is anticipated. You understand what you are signing — and why.

Step 5 — Revision & Finalisation

We incorporate your feedback and revisions, assist with counterparty negotiation if needed, and finalise the document for execution.
