Contract review
Does it say what you think it says, and who carries the risk when it doesn't?
Most agreements are signed on the strength of a summary. Waymakers Legal Services reads the document itself, tells you in plain terms what it commits you to, and flags the clauses that would matter if the relationship broke down.
Review is priced as a defined piece of work, so a landlord, agent or business can have an agreement checked before signing without committing to anything further.
Before you sign
A written note covering what the agreement obliges each party to do, where the risk sits, what happens on termination or default, and the terms worth pushing back on. Where negotiation is wanted, that can be handled with the other side directly.
When a contract is already a problem
Where an agreement is in dispute or being relied on against you, review covers the strength of each side's position, the options, negotiation, a formal claim, or walking away, and the likely cost of each, before anything is committed to.
