Contract risk assessment
What we examine during a review
Small clauses can create large obligations. We focus on the terms that affect money, control, delivery and your ability to leave.
Payment terms
We test payment dates, late fees, invoicing conditions and set-off rights against the way your business actually gets paid.
Delivery and acceptance
Milestones, acceptance tests and delay penalties need to match reality. We flag vague obligations that can trigger disputes.
Intellectual property
We identify who owns work, data and materials, then check whether licences are wide enough for your planned use.
Termination and renewal
We explain notice periods, auto-renewal, exit costs and what happens to records, equipment and data when the agreement ends.
Confidentiality and restrictions
We assess confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation wording for fairness, scope and practical enforceability.
Missing protections
We look for absent clauses covering change control, service levels, insurance, dispute steps and business continuity.

Frequently asked questions
Contract review is easier when the scope and timing are clear. Here are the points clients ask about most.
What if the contract is very long?
We scope the agreement first and give you a fixed fee based on complexity, risk and the work required. Page count is only one part of that assessment.
How quickly can you review an urgent agreement?
We often accommodate same-day review for critical matters, subject to availability and document complexity. Call us before sending it.
Do I need a solicitor to review a contract?
You can read the words yourself, but specialist review can expose liability, renewal and exit terms that are easy to overlook when you are focused on the commercial deal.
Do you review supplier contracts?
Yes. Our supplier contract review covers payment, delivery, quality, warranties, exclusivity, liability and remedies for missed obligations.
