Contracts drafted by laymen can be perfectly valid contracts and be enforced by Court. There is no bar to parties making their own draft to execute a contract. It is not necessary for a lawyer to draft it for it to be valid. However, a lawyer would be able to draft a better contract.
Parties' Signatures: Though not always necessary, having parties sign off on exhibits can provide additional legal certainty.
The short answer is no. A lawyer is not required to draft a contract for a business or an individual. In fact, anyone can draft a contract. Although this is the case, it's not necessarily the best strategy.

Yes, you can write your own contract. However, including all necessary elements is crucial to make it legally binding. For complex situations or high-stakes agreements, it's advisable to consult a contract attorney to review or draft your agreement.
Contracts only need (1) a meeting of the minds as to the terms, and (2) exchange of goods and/or services which each party considers to have some non-zero value (called “consideration”). So, yes, you can write a contract for yourself. You don't need an attorney.
In civil procedure, a Rule 11 Agreement can refer to a voluntary written agreement signed by all parties on any subject matter involved in the lawsuit.
For example, a court will never enforce a contract promoting something already against state or federal law (you can never enforce a contract for an illegal marijuana sale) or an agreement that offends the "public sensibilities" (contracts involving some sort of sexual immorality, for example).
Signing Pleadings, Motions, and Other Papers; Representations to the Court; Sanctions. (a) Signature. Every pleading, written motion, and other paper must be signed by at least one attorney of record in the attorney's name – or by a party personally if the party is unrepresented.
If you filed a rule 11 agreement and no longer wish to abide by its terms, it may not be too late. Either party can attempt to withdraw the agreement after filing as long as a judgment has not yet been rendered.
