Abstract
Commercial contracts between enterprises, entrepreneurs, and other economic participants are peculiar legal agreements that require several strategic approaches to ensure optimal business and legal outcomes for the parties to these contracts. The role of the lawyer, as well as the commercial specialist, is critical in the process of negotiating these contracts. Therefore, drawing mainly from the author's 35-year professional experience internationally, the lawyer—whether in-house or external—needs to develop and apply a range of skillsets, competencies, mindsets, understandings, perspectives, and best practices for the efficient and effective execution of their role in commercial contract negotiations as they partner with technical and business teams. This article outlines and analyses this range.
