Day-to-Day Business Documents I Can Help You With

Well-written, well-prepared, well-protected

Running a business means dealing with contracts, agreements, and financial arrangements on a daily basis. Whether you’re financing equipment, hiring independent contractors, selling shares, or engaging brand ambassadors, the right legal documents ensure clarity, compliance, and protection.

I provide practical, commercially focused legal advice to ensure your agreements are clear, enforceable, and structured to support your business operations and future growth.

Agreements are the backbone of every business

Every business runs on agreements (aka contracts). From supplier agreements and service contracts to agency deals and confidentiality deeds, commercial agreements define rights, responsibilities, and expectations between businesses, partners, and customers. Whether you're negotiating, drafting, or reviewing a contract, having the right legal support ensures your agreements are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your commercial goals.

I provide practical, strategic legal advice on a wide range of commercial contracts, helping businesses secure fair terms, manage risk, and achieve strong, commercially sound agreements.

Secure, reliable supplier relationships

Your business depends on suppliers to deliver the right goods, on time, and at the right price. A well-drafted supply agreement ensures clarity, consistency, and legal protection so you’re not left exposed if a supplier fails to deliver or changes pricing unexpectedly.

Whether you’re sourcing raw materials, inventory, or specialised products, I help businesses draft, negotiate, and review supply agreements to ensure the terms protect your interests, set clear expectations, and minimise risk.

Clear terms, stronger business relationships

A service agreement sets out the terms, expectations, and protections when one party provides services to another. Whether you’re a business owner hiring a service provider or a contractor delivering services, a well-drafted agreement ensures clear obligations, fair payment terms, and protection against disputes.

Without a strong contract, misunderstandings over scope, liability, intellectual property, or payment can create costly issues. I help businesses draft, review, and negotiate service agreements that are practical, enforceable, and tailored to their needs—so you can focus on running your business with confidence.

The equipment you need without the upfront cost

Purchasing equipment outright isn’t always practical. Leasing or financing can free up cash flow while giving your business access to the tools, machinery, or vehicles it needs. Whether you’re leasing short-term, financing an eventual purchase, or structuring a hire-purchase arrangement, it’s important to understand your legal rights and obligations before signing an agreement.

I assist business owners, lessors, and lessees with drafting, reviewing, and negotiating equipment financing agreements, ensuring the terms are clear, enforceable, and commercially sound. I also provide guidance on Personal Property Securities Act (PPSA) registration, protecting your interests if the lessee defaults or becomes insolvent.

Structuring and securing financial arrangements

I assist both borrowers and lenders in documenting and securing loan agreements, ensuring the terms are clear, enforceable, and commercially sound. Whether you’re negotiating a loan, providing security, or signing a guarantee, I help you understand your obligations, protect your interests, and ensure compliance with legal requirements.

I prepare and review loan agreements, facility agreements, and security documents such as mortgages, guarantees, and personal property securities, and provide independent solicitor certificates where required.

Protect your website, your business, and your users

Often your website is more than just an online presence, it’s a key part of your business. Website terms and conditions (T&Cs) help protect your business, set clear expectations for visitors, and reduce legal risks. Whether you’re providing information, selling products, or offering services, a well-drafted set of T&Cs can prevent disputes and ensure compliance with privacy and consumer laws.

I help businesses draft, review, and refine website terms and conditions to ensure they are clear, enforceable, and aligned with legal requirements.

Protect your business and your customers

If your business collects, stores, or uses personal information, you need a privacy policy. More than just a legal requirement, a well-drafted privacy policy builds trust with customers, ensures compliance with privacy laws, and protects your business from legal risk.

I help businesses draft, review, and refine privacy policies that are clear, legally compliant, and tailored to their operations.

When is the Best Time to Consider Your Business Structure?

Business structuring matters at the beginning and at turning points.

I often help clients when launching a new venture, taking on investors, adjusting ownership, or preparing to scale, sell, or restructure.
