England runs on common law, which gives parties wide freedom of contract, but that freedom cuts both ways: a clause is generally enforced as written, not as you intended. The Employment Rights Act 1996 sets statutory protections for employees. UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 govern how you handle personal data. Restraint-of-trade clauses are enforced only so far as they protect a legitimate business interest and go no wider than reasonable. And because London is one of the world’s leading centres for commercial dispute resolution, your governing-law, jurisdiction, and arbitration clauses are often the most valuable in the contract.
Whether you need an NDA, a master service agreement, a shareholders’ agreement, a SAFE or convertible loan note, an employment contract, a SaaS agreement, or a cross-border commercial deal, the document is built for your commercial position and for enforceability in England and Wales. We provide contract drafting with fixed fees and standard contracts in 24 to 48 hours.
Most contract problems in England are not obvious at signing. Under common law, courts hold parties to the words they agreed, so a loose clause is rarely rescued later. The cost of getting it wrong only appears when the deal goes wrong.
English law lets you agree almost anything, which puts the weight on the drafting. An ambiguous liability cap or a vague scope clause is usually read as written, not as you hoped. We draft so the words say exactly what you mean.
The Employment Rights Act 1996 and related legislation give employees statutory rights a contract cannot remove, covering unfair dismissal, notice, and more. Restrictive covenants such as non-competes are enforceable only so far as they protect a legitimate business interest and are reasonable. An over-broad covenant usually fails. We draft employment terms that comply and hold.
If you handle personal data of customers or staff, UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 set lawful-basis, purpose, and security obligations. Your privacy policy, consent flows, and data processing terms must reflect them. We draft these to the UK regime, not a foreign one.
London is a leading global seat for litigation and arbitration. A well-drafted clause, the right governing law, jurisdiction or LCIA arbitration, seat, and language, can decide whether you enforce quickly or get stuck. We draft it on purpose, not as boilerplate.
