Commercial contracts and negotiation support
We help business, sales, procurement, and operations teams get from "terms in an email" to a signed agreement: fast, clear, and aligned to how the work actually gets done. Expect practical redlines, predictable positions, and contracts that reduce friction now and risk later.
Contract Drafting & Redlines
MSAs, SOWs, order forms, amendments, and statements of work, built to close and built to hold up (scope, fees, change control, acceptance, and remedies).
Vendor & Supplier Agreements
Vendor and supplier terms that are workable for the business and protective on risk: flow-downs, insurance, security/privacy terms, audit rights, and dispute mechanics.
Negotiating Strategy & Risk Positions
Clear fallback positions on indemnity, limitation of liability, warranty scope, consequential damages, insurance, and escalations are controlled.
Confidentiality, IP, & Commercial Protections
NDAs, confidentiality programs, IP ownership/allocation, work-made-for-hire/assignments where appropriate, non-solicit/poaching clauses, and practical enforcement readiness.
Due Diligence & Contract Cleanup
Contract portfolio reviews, risk flagging, and "fix lists" (assignment/consent, nonstandard indemnities, renewal/termination traps, pricing exposure) with a remediation plan.
M&A + Complex Transactions
Support for acquisitions and larger commercial deals: purchase agreement support (as needed), TSAs, integration planning for contract migration, and closing checklists that keep operations moving.
Who we support
- Companies that buy or sell services and need clean, repeatable paper
- Teams dealing with vendor/procurement addenda and constant "paper battles"
- Leaders who want consistent risk positions across customers and suppliers
- Operators who need terms that match reality (delivery, invoicing, change control)
- Growing businesses building a template stack and clause playbook
Tools we provide
- MSA/SOW clause library + fallback positions (playbooked)
- Negotiation "deal desk" checklist (what to push, accept, or escalate)
- Change-order + acceptance templates (to prevent scope drift disputes)
- Pricing/renewal riders (uplifts, true-ups, auto-renew guardrails)
- Due diligence contract review checklist + summary risk matrix
- One-page "terms guide" for sales/procurement (do/don't language)
Engagement options
- Deal Desk: in-flow redlines, negotiations, and close support
- Template Refresh Sprint (30–45 days): modernize your paper + playbooks
- Vendor/Customer Paper Support: tackle addenda and "one-off" terms fast
- Portfolio Review: diligence/cleanup of your contract stack
- On-Call Negotiation: rapid help on high-value or red-flag deals
- GC Subscription: monthly coverage for predictable support
Outcomes matter
Faster cycles, fewer escalations, clearer operational terms, and contracts that match how the business runs, so you're not re-litigating scope and responsibility later.
