b) Drafting New Contracts
- For new contracts, the SayPro Legal Services team will prepare comprehensive agreements that cover all necessary legal aspects. The contract will outline the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of all parties involved in the agreement. The team will ensure that the language used is clear, concise, and legally enforceable.
