Resources that help you read the room — and the contract.

Straightforward agreements can often be turned around in 3 to 5 working days, while more complex contracts may need a little longer if there are multiple parties, bespoke clauses, or commercial points to settle. We’ll always tell you if the timetable is likely to shift. No surprises, no vague promises.

Send the document itself, the background to the deal, and any clauses that already concern you. If there’s a deadline or a negotiation history, include that too. The clearer the brief, the sharper the review — simple, really.

We do both. Remote negotiation works well for most matters and keeps momentum moving, while in-person meetings can help when the stakes are high or the parties need a more structured discussion. Which format suits the deal? We’ll advise on that.

Consultation time is usually arranged in clear blocks so you know what’s included before we begin. That keeps billing predictable and makes it easier to focus on the legal points that actually need attention. If you’d like a tailored estimate, ask first — it’s the sensible move.

We can assist with cross-border drafting and coordination, and we’ll flag when local counsel in another jurisdiction should review the final form. For anything outside UK law, the governing law clause needs proper care. That clause does a lot of heavy lifting.
