Legal Audit
A substantial amount of UK businesses operate with documentation that is out of date, incomplete or irrelevant.
Whether you are currently trading or preparing to sell your business you should be aware of potential problems caused by ineffective or non-existent written commercial contracts. Disputes can arise from:
- Splits between business partners or shareholders
- The supply of goods or services
- Compensation claims
- Poor cash-flow
- Competitors stealing your intellectual property
- Failure to pre-agree how disagreements should be resolved. i.e. Escalation and/or mediation.
Mediation cases throughout the UK are on the increase. View the full report
It is very difficult to avail yourself of this popular and cost-effective method of dispute resolution if your contracts provide this is how disputes should be resolved in writing.
To assist businesses in reducing their exposure to risks, we offer a legal audit for a nominal fee. After an initial free consultation, we audit your documentation and provide post audit advice, with a report identifying areas of risk to your business from a legal perspective.
We can deliver this as a one-off exercise, or if you prefer we can work on a monthly retainer, using this and any of our other commercial services as and when you need them.
Think of us as your in-house outsourced Lawyer.
