Contracts that work

Every business relationship involves agreements, with customers, suppliers, partners, and contractors. Well-drafted documents protect your interests, prevent misunderstandings, and give you confidence when problems arise.We draft and review contracts, terms of business, and commercial agreements across industries from fishing and farming to energy services. Our focus is practical documentation that works in the real world. Clear language, enforceable terms, and provisions that address the specific risks your business faces. Tools that support your success.

Paperwork that protects

We handle the legal documentation that keeps your business trading smoothly. From standard terms and conditions through to complex supply arrangements and distribution agreements, we draft documents that protect your position without creating unnecessary barriers to doing business. Many clients come to us when they are reviewing existing arrangements or when a customer or supplier has presented contracts for signature. We are equally comfortable drafting from scratch or reviewing and negotiating documents prepared by others.

Terms of business

Including terms of sale, service conditions, website terms, and consumer protection compliance.

Data protection and privacy

Including privacy notices, data processing agreements, staff policies, and subject access procedures.
