Legal health check for UK businesses

A legal health check is suitable for any UK business aiming to understand its legal risks and compliance status. It is especially relevant for startups, growing businesses, or those that have not reviewed their documents or compliance position recently. This service provides a broad assessment and practical recommendations, whether you are planning to scale, entering new markets, or simply want to identify gaps before they become issues. It is not limited by industry and can help both established companies and new ventures.

Common issues include missing or outdated contracts, unclear terms with suppliers or clients, gaps in employment documentation, and overlooked compliance requirements. Businesses often discover risks around data privacy, intellectual property, or regulatory obligations. The review highlights practical risks that could impact your operations or expose you to disputes, helping you prioritise which areas need attention. The findings depend on your documents and how your business operates in practice.

This service includes a review of your key business documents-such as contracts, policies, and governance materials-alongside an assessment of compliance and risk areas relevant to your sector. You will receive a written summary with actionable recommendations. The fixed-fee does not cover tax advice, ongoing representation, or technical implementation, but we can quote separately for any follow-up work you request. The review is based on the materials and information you provide.

After you receive your written summary and recommendations, you can discuss any questions with your lawyer. If you want to act on the advice-such as updating contracts or policies-we can outline practical next steps and provide a fixed fee quote for further work. You are free to decide which recommendations to implement and when. The aim is to give you a clearer legal framework for the issue, with final risk settings depending on your operating model and follow-through.

For a single fixed-fee, you receive the review and recommendations described on this page. If you require additional services, such as drafting new documents or support with regulator filings, we will provide a clear, separate quote so you can decide how to proceed. The legal health check itself focuses on assessment and practical advice, not ongoing legal representation or dispute management. This keeps your costs predictable and transparent.

Working with us is simple. Start by submitting an enquiry through our website using the form at the top of this page or on our Get Started page. A legal project manager will review your enquiry within 1 business day and reach out to understand your needs.

They'll send you a fixed fee quote outlining costs, scope, and timing. If you're happy, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online. Once that's done, we'll connect you with an expert lawyer who will complete your project via email, phone, or video chat, with the timing confirmed in your quote.

If you're not looking for help with a specific matter, explore our platform, which offers free templates, tools to get your business set up, and even a free tier to get started. Whether you need legal support or just want to browse resources, we've got you covered.
