Get one focused hour to pressure-test your contract negotiation

The problem is often not that every clause looks alarming on its face. It is that a few provisions can quietly shift the commercial balance of the deal if they are accepted without context. Common examples include broad indemnities, uncapped liability, vague acceptance criteria, automatic renewal, one-sided termination rights, or wording that hands over intellectual property more widely than expected. This session helps you identify which points matter most before you respond, so you can avoid spending time on low-value edits while missing the clauses that could affect price, delivery, or exposure later.

A one-hour session is usually a good fit where you have one live contract, one set of comments, or one negotiation stage that needs quick legal input. It works well if you want help prioritising issues, testing your position, or planning your next response. If the matter involves several related agreements, repeated rounds of markups, or lawyer-to-lawyer negotiation over a longer period, a single session may be too narrow. In that case, we can still use the hour to triage the issues and explain what extra support would make sense.

We can cover the clauses creating the most pressure in the deal rather than trying to discuss every line equally. That often includes liability caps, indemnities, payment triggers, service levels, acceptance testing, termination rights, exclusivity, confidentiality, restraints, intellectual property ownership, and renewal wording. If the other side has sent a markup, we can also help sort their requested changes into high, medium and low priority points. Sending the latest draft in advance makes the session more useful because your lawyer can spend the call on the issues with the biggest legal or commercial impact.

Yes. That is one of the most common uses for this service. A markup from the other side can mix legal changes, commercial asks and drafting preferences, which makes it hard to judge what really matters. During the session, we can help you work through the comments, identify which changes alter risk allocation, and decide where you may want to hold firm or offer a compromise. For example, a small wording change to acceptance, delay, or IP clauses can have a much bigger effect than it first appears.

After the session, you should have a clearer plan for the next step, whether that is replying with comments, revising your own draft, or deciding which points are worth escalating internally. You will also receive a short written follow-up recording the main issues discussed. If the matter continues and you need more than a one-off intervention, further work can be arranged separately. This service is best viewed as a focused legal checkpoint during a live negotiation, not full management of the deal from first draft through signing.
