Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about contract drafting & review and how our solicitors can help

Contract drafting involves creating a new agreement from scratch, tailored to your specific needs and objectives. Contract review involves analyzing an existing contract (usually prepared by the other party) to identify risks, unfavorable terms, and recommend changes to protect your interests.

While you can use template agreements for similar arrangements, different suppliers may require customized terms based on: the nature of goods/services provided, risk levels, relationship importance, supplier capabilities, and specific industry requirements. Key suppliers often warrant bespoke agreements.

Contract review costs typically range from £300-£5,000 depending on complexity. Basic terms review costs £300-£600, standard commercial contracts £500-£1,500, and complex agreements £1,000-£3,000. Urgent review services (24-48 hours) typically cost 50% more than standard rates.

A comprehensive contract review includes: detailed analysis of all terms and conditions, identification of potential risks and liabilities, assessment of commercial impact, highlighting of unfavorable clauses, recommendations for amendments, negotiation strategy advice, and a written report summarizing key findings and suggested changes.

Standard contract review typically takes 3-7 working days depending on complexity and length. Simple agreements can be reviewed within 1-2 days, while complex multi-party contracts may take 1-2 weeks. Urgent review services are available for time-sensitive situations, usually completed within 24-48 hours.

While you can negotiate contract terms yourself, having legal support is advisable for significant agreements. Solicitors understand legal implications, industry standards, and negotiation tactics that can protect your interests and achieve better outcomes. They can also draft amendments and ensure proper documentation.

Key clauses to focus on include: payment terms and late payment provisions, liability limitations and exclusions, termination rights and procedures, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality obligations, force majeure provisions, dispute resolution mechanisms, and any penalty or liquidated damages clauses.

Contracts can be amended after signing, but both parties must agree to the changes. Amendments should be documented in writing and signed by all parties. Some contracts include specific procedures for variations. Unilateral changes without agreement may constitute a breach of contract.
