Five areas of work
Practice Areas
Our work concentrates in five areas. They overlap more often than people expect — a tenancy problem can become a debt problem, and an employment problem can become a settlement agreement — which is why we look at the whole picture rather than a single document.
01 · Agreements
Sales & Purchase Agreements
What you are buying, what you are selling, when risk passes, and what happens if the other side does not perform. We draft and review agreements for goods, equipment, business assets and property transactions, and we mark the clauses that shift risk onto you.
You receive the document plus a short written summary of the commercial terms, so the decision is made with the whole picture in view.
- Drafting of sale and purchase agreements for goods, equipment and business assets
- Contract review with clause-by-clause commentary in plain English
- Payment terms, deposits, staged payments and retention wording
- Delivery, inspection, acceptance and transfer of risk and title
- Remedies for late delivery, non-payment and defective goods
02 · Tenancies
Lease & Tenancy Contracts
Repairing obligations, service charges, permitted use, break clauses and deposits. We advise both landlords and tenants, and we identify the obligations that are likely to cost money before they do.
Where a dispute has started, we help assemble a chronology that a third party can follow.
- Review of commercial and residential tenancy agreements
- Repairing obligations, service charges and insurance covenants
- Rent review, rent arrears and payment plan correspondence
- Deposit protection, deductions and end-of-tenancy disputes
- Break clauses, notice periods and renewal procedures
03 · Employment
Employment & Labour Contracts
Contracts, written statements, handbooks and policies, read for internal consistency. On termination we set out the sequence of steps that should be followed and the documents that should exist before a decision is communicated.
We advise employers and employees, and we never promise a particular outcome.
- Employment contracts, written statements and consultancy agreements
- Staff handbooks, policies and internal consistency review
- Termination, notice, garden leave and settlement wording
- Disciplinary and grievance procedure documentation
- Workplace compliance checks and record-keeping guidance
04 · Property disputes
Neighbourhood & Property Disputes
Noise, boundaries, water penetration, service charges and managing agents. We establish the facts in a form a third party can follow — dates, photographs, measurements, correspondence — and then draft the letters that come first.
- Noise, nuisance and anti-social behaviour correspondence
- Boundary, fence, hedge and right-of-way questions
- Water penetration, damp and leakage liability assessment
- Property management and service charge disputes
- Evidence packs: chronology, photographs, measurements, receipts
05 · Recovery
Debt Collection & Credit Recovery
Recovering money is a paperwork discipline. We review the agreement, invoices and statements, test whether the debt is documented, and build a structured recovery sequence with a realistic payment plan.
We act for creditors and for debtors. Enforcement is not something we can carry out, because that is litigation and it falls outside our service.
- Statement of account and evidence review
- Pre-action letters of demand and final notice drafting
- Payment plans, instalment terms and interest wording
- Negotiation and mediation support for both creditors and debtors
- Time limits, acknowledgements and limitation period analysis
06 · Documents
Document Preparation
Letters, statements, chronologies, schedules of loss and indexed bundles — written to be understood by a reader with no background in the matter.
- Formal letters, statements and written representations
- Chronologies and schedules of events
- Schedules of loss and calculation summaries
- Indexed evidence bundles for negotiation or mediation
- Policy, terms and conditions drafting for small businesses
