Check the practical terms
Identify parties, signing authority, deliverables, pricing, payment dates, acceptance and responsibilities. Make sure schedules referred to in the draft are available.
Identify what happens if things change
Note the terms on delays, liability, confidentiality, termination and disputes for review. Commercial expectations and legal wording should be discussed together.
Agree a review scope
Ask which documents and revision rounds are included. Contract review does not include tax or other specialist certifications unless expressly agreed.
