Contract Drafting and Legal Document Preparation for Irish Clients
If your arrangement only exists in emails and conversation, it is not yet an agreement. Arc Accord Co. prepares contracts around the actual terms your people have agreed, with clear obligations and a structure both sides can follow.
Start with a conversation about the arrangement. The result is a document prepared for review and signature, not a generic form with names swapped in.
Document preparation
What We Draft
The right document depends on the arrangement, not the label on a template. Every instruction starts with the parties and terms involved.
Personal agreements
Record private arrangements in writing, including how contributions, responsibilities or repayment will work.
See common examples
- Private loan documentation
- Co-ownership terms
- Shared responsibility agreements
Supporting documents
Prepare the policies, schedules and terms that explain how a main contract applies day to day.
See common examples
- Terms of business and policies
- Schedules and service specifications
- Annexes and related documents
A document is written for the parties named in it. It is not copied from another client's contract.
Before the first draft
Scoping: The Conversation That Shapes the Document
Good agreement drafting in Dublin and across Ireland starts with the working details. The scoping conversation covers what is being agreed, who is responsible, and what should happen when circumstances change.
Terms with a purpose
Clauses Written for Your Arrangement
A clause should describe what the parties need to do, in language they can use when a real decision comes up.
Responsibilities
Name who does what, when it is due and the standard expected.
“The supplier will provide…”
Payment
Set out fees, invoice dates, payment timing and how disputed invoices are handled.
“Undisputed amounts are due…”
Ending the agreement
Explain notice, what happens on exit and which duties continue afterwards.
“Either party may give…”
Information and risk
Consider confidentiality, intellectual property and liability in context.
“Confidential information includes…”
Ready for people to use
Formatting and Delivery-Ready Documents
Clear structure matters after the document is signed. Payment, delivery and exit terms should be easy to find without reading every page again.
Legal document preparation includes consistent numbering, defined terms and any agreed schedules or annexes. A plain-language summary highlights the main obligations.

A clear drafting process
Revision Rounds and How Changes Are Handled
Each instruction sets out the included revision rounds at scoping. You can see what changed and where a decision is still needed.
Stage 01
First draft
The first version reflects the written scope and the information provided for the instruction.
Stage 02
Your comments
Comments are reviewed against the agreed terms. Open commercial points are flagged for your decision.
Stage 03
Final version
Changes are recorded between versions. Any work beyond the agreed rounds is discussed before it proceeds.
No surprises on revisions.

Have a Contract Drafted Properly
Describe the agreement you need in a short call. The next step is a scoping conversation, followed by written confirmation of the scope and information required.
Document preparation support covers drafting and document presentation. It is not a substitute for advice from a practising solicitor on your legal rights, legal position or whether to sign. Seek independent legal advice where you need it.
