Drafting that starts commercially

We don’t just fill in clauses. We structure obligations, risk and exit rights so the agreement actually supports the deal.

Negotiation with discipline

When counterparties push back, we keep the commercial objective in view. What’s negotiable, what isn’t?

Compliance built in

From UK rules to cross-border considerations, we layer in legal checks without making the document unreadable.

Practical feedback

You’ll get plain-English commentary, not mystery phrasing. Prefer clarity over drama? So do we.

Comprehensive contract solutions

A full-service team for drafting, review and negotiation.

Every engagement begins with a proper read of your commercial goal. Are you trying to close quickly, reduce exposure, or create a template you can reuse across the business? We tailor the contract to that answer, then work backwards through the clauses, schedule and approvals process.

That means clearer ownership language, tighter payment terms, sensible termination rights, and a structure that fits the way your team actually operates. No unnecessary bulk. No stray provisions left behind from another transaction.

Commercial drafting

Supplier, distribution and licensing agreements drafted from scratch, or rebuilt from a messy precedent. We write for the transaction, not the template cupboard.

Review and redlining

We flag hidden liability, one-sided indemnities and vague deliverables. What should be tightened? Quite a lot, sometimes.

Employment documents

Employment contracts and staff handbook clauses that help you set expectations early, fairly and with far fewer surprises.

Confidentiality protections

NDAs built to protect information, preserve leverage and reflect how teams really share sensitive material across projects.

SaaS agreements

Licences, uptime terms, support commitments and service credits shaped for software businesses.

Shareholder agreements

Control, transfers, leaver provisions and deadlock mechanisms drafted to avoid awkward stand-offs later.

Partnership terms

Commercial alignment, governance and exit language for businesses building together.

Negotiation support

Redlines, position notes and version tracking for teams that need a cleaner route to signature.

Sectors we serve

Sector-aware advice, without the jargon.

Different industries ask for different safeguards. A SaaS contract doesn’t read like a construction deal, does it? We adapt the structure, the risk profile and the supporting schedules to suit the way your sector operates.

Financial and professional services

Engagements, scope limits and confidentiality terms that fit regulated, reputation-sensitive environments.

Clear, fixed-fee pricing

Costs should be visible before the work starts.

We price most work on a fixed-fee basis, because uncertainty makes it harder to plan. Why guess at cost when the scope can be defined properly?

For larger matters, we can agree retainer support or a phased quote. You’ll know what’s included, what sits outside scope, and where the decision points are.

Single-contract review

Best for one-off checks where you need fast feedback and a practical list of issues.

Typical scope

Review, redline and call
