Legal Documentation & Commercial Agreements

Templates are drafted for a different transaction, often a different jurisdiction, and the clauses that matter most — payment, liability, termination, confidentiality, dispute resolution and governing law — are exactly the ones that need to reflect your commercial position. A badly fitted agreement usually surfaces only when there is a dispute.

Typically: rights attaching to each class of shares, board composition and reserved matters requiring specific consent, transfer restrictions and pre-emption, tag-along and drag-along rights, exit provisions, and deadlock and dispute resolution. It should also sit consistently with the company's articles, which is a common point of failure.

Yes. We review and mark up the counterparty's draft, explain the commercial effect of each significant clause in plain terms, and negotiate the changes that matter — rather than returning a document you cannot act on.

At minimum, an employment agreement or consultancy agreement that is clear on scope, payment, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership and termination. Where third parties are involved, a non-disclosure agreement before discussions and a properly scoped vendor agreement afterwards. We prepare all of these.
