Contract lawyers
Contracts are the only thing we do. We draft them, we check them before you sign, we negotiate them on your behalf, and we deal with them when they go wrong.
LegalRoad is a specialist contract practice. We work with housing, commercial, business and personal contracts, and we understand how much rests on the wording — which is why our focus is on making sure your objectives are achieved and that you are properly protected inside the agreement.
We have assisted a great many companies, businesses and private individuals in drafting their contracts and defending their rights through mediation, ADR and civil action.
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.

Bespoke business agreements and commercial contracts
Your commercial interests need to be secured. Our contracts are tailored to reflect the objectives of the parties while containing your risk, and specialised for the relevant industry and regulated market.
Our lawyers are experienced. They know what to expect, identify likely problems early enough to forewarn you, and give you optimal solutions. Where a matter needs it, we bring together professionals from different practices — at negotiation, at contract management, or at dispute stage.
A contract is only worth what it protects
Most contract problems are not caused by bad faith. They are caused by an agreement that was never specific enough about who does what, by when, for how much, and what happens if someone falls short. Those gaps cost nothing to fix before signature and a great deal to argue about afterwards.
That is the whole basis of how we work: put the effort in at review and drafting stage, so disputes never start.
