Most contract risk is invisible until the moment it isn't.

Contract management means understanding, interpreting and performing agreements in the interest of the business. That starts with reading what you already signed.

The problem with the first contract

A business signs its first customer agreement in a hurry, then uses it as a template for the next forty. Four years later nobody remembers that the liability clause is uncapped, that the payment terms say sixty days, or that the termination provision only works in one direction.

Contract analysis is the discipline of finding that out deliberately, rather than discovering it during a dispute.

What the analysis covers

What you receive

A written note in plain language, ranked by how much each issue would cost you if it went wrong. Not a marked-up document full of legal annotations, but a list of what to fix first and what can wait.

For businesses with a large contract portfolio, we analyse a representative sample first, identify the systemic problems, and then fix the template rather than every individual agreement. 

What this covers

In detail

How we help.

Single agreement

One contract reviewed against your position, with a written note of what needs changing.

Portfolio review

A representative sample analysed to find the problems repeated across every contract.

Insurance alignment

Checking that what your contracts commit you to is actually what your policy covers.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does a review take?
A single standard agreement is normally back with you within three to five working days. Urgent turnaround is possible where a deadline requires it.
Yes. Tell us the deadline when you send it and we will work to it.
Contract review is quoted as a fixed fee based on the length and complexity of the agreement. You know the cost before we start.
With a sample. The same three or four problems usually run through an entire portfolio, and fixing the template solves them going forward far more efficiently than reviewing each one.
