Contract Best Practices
Use Local Language
Contracts should be in the official language (or bilingual) to ensure enforceability
Local Legal Review
Always have local counsel review before first use in a new jurisdiction
Customize Per Role
One size doesn't fit all - tailor contracts to position level and type
Include All Mandatories
Missing required provisions can invalidate the entire contract
