Services and matters handled

  • Contract drafting and review
  • Corporate structuring advisory
  • Commercial agreements
  • Compliance-related advisory
  • Due diligence support

How a matter of this kind proceeds

  1. Scoping

    Days

    We establish what the transaction is meant to achieve commercially, and what the client is and is not willing to accept, before drafting anything.

  2. Diligence and risk review

    1–3 weeks, with document volume

    Existing documents and corporate records are reviewed, and the risks worth negotiating over are separated from those worth accepting.

  3. Drafting and negotiation

    Driven by the counterparty

    Documents are drafted or marked up, and we support the negotiation through to signature.

  4. Closing and compliance

    As the transaction requires

    Conditions precedent, filings and post-closing compliance are tracked to completion.

Timelines are indicative only. Listing and hearing dates are set by the court or tribunal concerned and are outside the firm’s control.

Common questions

Can you review a contract someone else drafted?

Yes, and it is among the most useful things to instruct counsel on. A review identifies where the document departs from what was actually agreed, where risk has been allocated to you silently, and which clauses are worth negotiating against the commercial value of the deal.

Do you advise litigation clients on prevention?

A practice that argues contractual disputes sees which clauses fail under pressure. That view informs how we draft — the advisory work and the disputes work are not kept apart.

What does a due diligence exercise cover?

Scope is agreed with you and depends on the transaction, but ordinarily covers corporate records and authorisations, material contracts, litigation and disputes, regulatory compliance, and title to key assets. We report on what we find, including where records are incomplete.
