Most businesses do not know where their legal exposure actually sits.
Contracts have been signed by different people at different times, terms have not been looked at in years, suppliers have never signed processing agreements, and nobody is quite sure whether the contractors’ work belongs to the company.
None of that shows up until a customer sends a procurement questionnaire, a buyer starts due diligence, or something goes wrong. The Legal Health Check replaces the guesswork with a written picture and a plan.
The Legal Health Check is a fixed-fee review of your whole legal position.
It covers:
- your contracts, terms of business and key customer and supplier agreements;
- corporate structure, ownership and decision-making;
- employment documents, status and contractor arrangements;
- data protection and UK GDPR compliance;
- intellectual property ownership and protection; and
- your website and any online terms.
You get a written report setting out where you stand, the gaps that carry real risk, and a prioritised action plan that separates what needs fixing now from what can wait.
It is the natural starting point for a new client, for a business preparing to raise money or sell, and for anyone who wants to know how they would look under someone else’s scrutiny.
Our Approach
Legal advice that makes running and growing your business easier.
We start with your business, not the law.
Before we open a document, we want to understand what you are trying to do commercially. The legal answer is only useful if it serves that.
We get to the point.
You get a clear view of what matters and what does not, in plain English, with the real risks separated from the noise.
We give you an answer.
Not a menu of options and a shrug. We tell you what we would do, why, and where there is a genuine judgment call for you to make.
We stay available.
Whether you work with us on a single project or on a subscription, we are here for the follow-up question. We would always rather you asked.
