All 101 templates are included in every Buzz Legal subscription. Each one names the law it is built on and says when a template is the wrong tool.
A template suits a standard document with ordinary stakes, where both sides broadly expect the same thing: a mutual NDA before a first conversation, a written statement for a new starter on the same terms as everybody else, or a first chasing letter on an invoice nobody disputes.
Three things change the answer. The first is money: the liability cap decides how much you can lose, and a template sets it at a general level. On a contract worth a large share of your year’s revenue, set that figure for the contract.
The second is that the other side has sent their document rather than asked for yours. A template does not help you read somebody else’s contract; for that, use a contract review.
The third is that something has already gone wrong. Once there is a dispute, a threatened claim or solicitors on the other side, a template is the wrong tool: what matters then is what you can prove and what you do in the first fortnight. That is contentious work and it goes to AD Solicitors.
Read it against your own business before you issue it, and change what does not fit. If the other side has already threatened a claim, that is a dispute, and it goes to AD Solicitors.
A contract review is a fixed £249 +VAT for one document read in full and marked up. Drafting is quoted in writing before anything starts.
