Drafting Context Clause Samples

The Drafting Context clause defines the background, intentions, and circumstances under which the contract was created. It typically outlines the parties' objectives, relevant negotiations, and any assumptions or external factors that influenced the drafting of the agreement. By providing this context, the clause helps interpret ambiguous terms and clarifies the parties' expectations, ultimately reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes over contractual language.
