Question 1

What is a legal contract review?

Accepted Answer

A contract review involves a solicitor reading through your contract with context in mind of your circumstances, and pointing out where there are any red flags, concerns and/or recommendations that you should consider before signing or otherwise agreeing to the contract.

Question 2

What exactly does our Contractor or Employment Contract review entail?

Accepted Answer

Our contract review service provides a comprehensive analysis of your contractor or employment agreement. We identify red flags, problematic clauses, restrictive covenants, IP ownership issues, termination provisions, liability limitations, and—for contractor agreements—IR35 implications. Our solicitors conduct detailed reviews with commentary in lay terminology as annotations within your document. You can choose what to do with this advice: request amendments, seek negotiation strategy guidance, or use our comments to strengthen your position with the other party. Our review gives you the valuable insights needed to move forward confidently.

You also have the option, as an optional extra, to schedule a 20-minute consultation with your solicitor if you would like to clarify any questions during an online consultation.

Question 7

What if your contract has already been signed and I am looking to get an opinion on my legal position?

Accepted Answer

If your contract has already been signed, and you are looking to get guidance on a specific situation that has arisen, you can still use this review service. In the field which reads "Is there any information that you would like to bring to our attention about this contract", please insert the specific points that you are looking to have the guidance center around.

Question 8

What if my contract needs to be fundamentally amended after the review?

Accepted Answer

Our review service is designed to identify issues and concerns within your contractor or employment agreement. In the event of amendments being required, once the review is provided to you, we would then provide you with a quotation to attend to the amendments on your behalf. Whether you proceed with such amendments is obviously at your discretion.

Question 9

What if I would like AirCounsel to assist with contract negotiations?

Accepted Answer

Once your contract has been reviewed, it may be necessary to negotiate amendments with the other party/ies to the contract. This might take the form of amendments being effected to the contract itself by our Solicitors, email correspondence being sent by us to the other party/ies with our proposed amendments, or a call / online meeting with the other Party/ies to discuss & negotiate. Once reviewed, and if necessary, we will provide you with a quote to attend to the negotiations.

Question 10

Does the review also include amendments being made to the contract?

Accepted Answer

Our reviews entail pointing out issues and concerns, and as such, does not ordinarily include actual amendments being made to the contract or document, which amendments are normally quoted for separately. However, you can order an hour of amendments as an optional extra during the checkout process.

Question 11

How do you measure page length?

Accepted Answer

Page length is measured in Tahoma font, size 11, 1.5 line spacing. If you are uncertain how to do this, feel free to send the agreement via live chat or email for us to measure it for you.

Question 12

What if I am uncertain how to measure the length of my contract or document?

Accepted Answer

No issue. Upload the contract as is and select the page tier that you think is correct. Once the order is received, we will then measure it in our measuring font. Should it measure much longer than the tier ordered, we will simply revert to you with the shortfall payment link in order for you to make a payment corresponding with the correct page length tier.

Question 13
