Contract review and negotiation

Before you sign, let us look it over.

A contract can look neat and still hide risk. We review the detail, explain the pressure points in plain English, and help you negotiate from a stronger position.

Our process

How our review works

Four careful stages, with a clear redline and practical advice your team can use straight away.

Initial read-through and risk assessment

We scan the agreement for commercial traps, missing clauses, and wording that could create avoidable exposure.

Clause-by-clause redlining with notes

Direct comments and proposed edits show what to change and why it matters.

Summary report in plain English

A concise report separates urgent issues from points that can be negotiated.

Follow-up call to walk through findings

We discuss the strategy, trade-offs, and next move so your team can decide quickly.

Common issues

Issues we frequently uncover

Ambiguous termination and liability clauses

Loose drafting can leave you paying after a break point you thought was clear. We flag those gaps before they bite.

Missing confidentiality or IP protections

Where data, designs, or know-how matter, the contract should say so.

Unbalanced payment or penalty terms

We look for cash-flow pressure, hidden fees, and penalties that are too sharp for the value being exchanged.

UK statutory compliance concerns

For UK businesses, compliance affects enforceability, risk, and the confidence to sign.

17+ years of commercial contract experience. We know where deals can go wrong—and how to stop a draft creating a dispute later.

Negotiation support

Negotiating on your behalf

Direct liaison with the counterparty or legal team

We can take the conversation off your plate and keep it professional, direct, and commercially focused.

Strategic advice on push-back points

We explain where to hold firm, where to compromise, and where a small tweak can unlock the deal.

Support through to final signature

We check the final wording again so nothing drifts in the last version.

Plain-English advice

We translate dense terms and explain what they mean for your business, without the jargon.
