Selected
on one/the other hand; or nothing
Looking at some sample World Bank contracts, I see two options:
either
1) <<"... between, on the one hand, XXX (hereinafter called "XXX") and, on the other hand, YYY (hereinafter called "XXX")>>
or
2) <<"... between XXX (hereinafter called "XXX") and YYY (hereinafter called "XXX")>>
"On the one/other hand" serves no real purpose in contracts between two parties. If, on the other hand (!), a contract is between parties, one or both of which are listed as several separate entities, it would be advisable to use it.
<<This CONTRACT is made the nnnn day of the month of mmm, 20xx, between, on the one hand, Mustapha, Achmed, and Jean-Pierre, and, on the other hand, Foo Tim Lee, Pedro, Amadou, and Brad ...>>

..., on one side, and...., on the other
simply that, in a contract works pretty well.
Similar to what you're suggesting, in fact. But in a contract, this is the right language to be used, yet a bit redundant at first glance
