- How quickly can you turn around a contract review?
- Standard commercial agreements are typically returned within two business days, with same-day review available for time-critical deals.
- Can you create templates our team can use without us?
- Yes. We build a template set plus a negotiation playbook that defines which terms your team can agree to directly and which need to come back to us.
- Do you review contracts drafted by the other side?
- Frequently. We mark up the counterparty draft, flag the commercial impact of each issue, and rank them so you know what is worth pushing on.
- Which clauses matter most in a commercial agreement?
- Scope of work, payment and interest, limitation of liability, indemnities, IP ownership, termination, and governing law. Those seven decide almost every dispute we see; the rest is largely administrative.
- Is an emailed agreement legally binding?
- It can be. If the essential terms are agreed and both sides intend to be bound, an email chain can form a contract — which is exactly why we advise marking pre-contract exchanges 'subject to contract'.
- Should we cap our liability, and at what level?
- Almost always. A common starting point is the fees paid in the preceding twelve months, with carve-outs for death, personal injury, and fraud. The right number depends on deal value and your insurance cover.
- What happens if the other party breaches the contract?
- We review the notice and cure provisions first, then advise on remedies — damages, specific performance, suspension, or termination — and on the practical route to recovery before anyone issues a claim.
- Do you handle contracts governed by foreign law?
- We advise on commercial structure and negotiate the terms, and instruct trusted local counsel where a foreign-law opinion or enforcement advice is required.
