How we work
We first understand the commercial objective, not just the document. The advice then focuses on what protects the business in practical terms and what risks should be negotiated, accepted or avoided.
Where a contract is being negotiated, we identify the risk points, payment terms, liability, termination rights, confidentiality obligations and dispute mechanisms.
For business disputes, we consider the evidence, commercial leverage, likely costs and settlement options before recommending formal action.
Indicative fees
Commercial drafting can often be fixed or capped where the scope is clear. Negotiations, disputes and complex transactions are usually quoted by stage or billed hourly with regular budget updates.
