Contracts & Commercial Terms Protection
Your fee lives and dies by your paperwork. We advise you through every set of client terms and, when you want us to, take the negotiation up with the client directly, so your fees, rebate periods and liability stay protected.
Every placement rests on a stack of commercial agreements: client terms of business, bespoke assignment letters, and interim statements of work. Send us a set of terms and you get a straight answer on what to accept, what to push back on and what to refuse outright. From there it is your call. Some clients want the wording and the confidence to run the conversation themselves; others would rather we sat in it, handled the redlines and spoke to the client's legal or procurement team on their behalf. Either way you are not negotiating alone, and your paperwork is ready before the offer, not after.
