A person who draws up legal documents, contracts, or legislation — distinct from a draughtsman (the person who makes technical drawings). The draftsman's skill lies in precise legal language, anticipating ambiguities, and constructing documents that will hold up in court. Also sometimes used for a person who produces technical mechanical or architectural drawings (where the spelling 'draughtsman' is more common in British English).
The draftsman spent three days revising the contract's indemnity clauses.
