What we do
Four services, one specialism
A contract problem is cheapest to solve before signature and most expensive once it is in dispute. We cover the whole span.
Contract Review
A clause-by-clause read of a contract before you sign it, with a written report on where you are exposed and what to renegotiate.
Read moreContract Drafting
Agreements written from scratch around your commercial objectives, or a set of templates your team can reuse without coming back to us each time.
Read moreContract Negotiation
We negotiate on your behalf, or sit alongside you, so the final agreement reflects your position rather than the other side’s first draft.
Read moreContract Disputes
Breach, termination and enforcement — handled pragmatically, with the aim of resolving the dispute before it reaches court.
Read moreWhy a specialist
A general practice does contracts. We do nothing else.
Most commercial firms treat contract work as something that sits alongside property, employment, litigation and corporate. It gets done by whoever is free.
We took the opposite decision. Every consultant here works on commercial agreements every day, which means we recognise the clause that will cause you a problem in eighteen months because we have already watched it cause one.
How you use us is your call: a single contract reviewed, or ongoing contract cover for everything your business signs.
Before you sign
A contract review tells you what you are actually agreeing to. We report on the clauses that expose you, the protections that are missing, and the specific wording worth renegotiating — in plain English, with a clear view on whether the agreement is fit for purpose.
When you need an agreement
Our drafting service builds the contract around your commercial objectives rather than a template. Where you use the same agreement repeatedly, we build a template suite with guidance notes so your team can issue it without coming back to us each time.
When the other side is bigger
We negotiate on your behalf, or sit alongside you, so the final agreement reflects your position rather than the other side’s first draft. Particularly where you have been told their standard terms are non-negotiable.
When it has already gone wrong
Breach, termination, enforcement. Our dispute service takes the negotiation over so your attachment to the contract does not get in the way of a settlement — and works to resolve it before it reaches court.
Who we work with
Contract support shaped around your stage of growth
The same specialists, packaged three ways — because a listed corporate, a 40-person SME and a pre-seed start-up do not sign the same contracts.
Corporate & Commercial
In-house legal teams are carrying heavier contract volumes against tighter budgets. We take the overflow — reviews, redrafts and negotiations — so your team can stay on the work only it can do.
Corporate contractsSmall & Medium Enterprises
You sign more agreements than you have time to read properly, and one bad set of terms can outweigh a year of margin. We give you contract cover that fits an SME budget.
SME contractsStart-Ups & Founders
The agreements you sign in year one decide who owns what. Founder documents, investment paperwork, customer terms and IP protection, on fixed fees.
