Contracts

One of our most popular and valuable services to our clients are our ‘Red Flag Reviews’ which ensure that you understand contractual terms and potential risks. We will review an agreement and flag any provisions that are unusual or onerous to you, as well as making sure that terms that we would typically expect to see in an agreement of that kind are included. This provides peace of mind to clients who need an extra hand in negotiating their contracts with third parties.

As a commercially-minded practice, we help our clients see the risks and benefits of their contracts so that they can make the best decision for their business and the deal done.

Don't sweat the small print! Let us do that for you.

Legal advice is often perceived to be expensive and time consuming, especially for SMEs. As a result, busy FDs, commercial directors and sales teams can be reluctant to seek legal advice on their contracts. But failing to get contracts properly checked can have disastrous consequences. The small print is often missed or misunderstood, leading to costly and unwanted consequences. Whether this relates to the length of the contract, the ability to terminate it, the payments due or the costs you are liable for, failing to appreciate the finer detail creates a huge business risk.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Your legal advice should be the fence at the top of the cliff, not the ambulance at the bottom. Sometimes a quick call or short email exchange is all that is needed to provide that security.

This is what our “Small Print” Contract Support Services are designed to address. We catch the small print that might be missed. We remove the cost and time concerns and allow SMEs to get the contract advice they need when they need it. We provide prompt, clear and commercial advice. No jargon. No legalese. No problem.
