Is it a good idea to have your contracts checked?

In a word: Yes! – By asking us to check your contracts for you (prior to you signing them), this helps t for us to identify the major risks to you, to advise you accordingly, and then to negotiate with the other party to delete or amend the particular onerous contract clauses. At the very least, you will be entering the contract ‘with your eyes open’.

We regularly vet Main-contracts and Sub-contracts, that have been sent to our clients, by employers or main contractors, to enter into. These unfortunately are sometimes seeking to place all the risk onto our clients.

Our clients tend to be the business or association who does not have its own corporate legal department at its disposal but, quite sensibly, wishes to ensure that there are no nasty surprises lurking in the small print.

In these circumstances we prepare a detailed report for the other party advising them of which terms and conditions our client cannot accept and the reasons for this.

FOR OUR CLIENTS THIS HAS TWO MAIN ADVANTAGES

  • It protects them from risks that could have had a major impact on their business if a particular event occurred.
  • It projects a professional image.

In addition to checking and advising you on the terms of the Contract, you may also wish us to negotiate any amendments with the other party.
