Contract Drafting and Review
Drafting and reviewing contracts is a cornerstone of our legal advisory services. In Somalia, contracts must reflect both legal standards and cultural expectations. We prepare clear, enforceable agreements for leases, memoranda of understanding (MoUs), and partnership arrangements, tailored to the Somali context. We also review existing contracts to identify risks and ensure that terms are fair and legally binding. Our goal is to protect our clients’ interests and foster trust in business relationships through sound legal documentation.
Our Case Studies:
Drafting Commercial Lease Agreements; we provides legal drafting services for commercial lease agreements involving lessors, lessees, and property managers across various sectors. These agreements establish lawful occupancy, define rights and obligations, and ensure compliance with applicable laws. We have assisted clients leasing office spaces, retail units, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
Our drafting ensures that lease agreements are legally enforceable under Somali law and consistent with international leasing standards, helping clients manage legal risks and maintain clear, secure leasing relationships.
Structuring Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) for NGOs, Government, and Development Partners; we provide expert legal support in drafting and reviewing Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) that govern strategic collaborations between NGOs, government entities, and development partners. Our services ensure that these instruments are legally sound, operationally clear, and compliant with both domestic regulations and international donor standards. By ensuring clarity in roles, responsibilities, and expectations, our MoUs promote transparency, reduce legal risk, and strengthen institutional partnerships across sectors such as health, education, humanitarian aid, and governance reform.
