Contract Review Risk Flagger UK

The problem: freelancers and SMEs sign contracts they shouldn't

Freelancers and SMEs sign contracts regularly but skip solicitor reviews because they cost £200-500 per contract. So they get burned, unlimited liability clauses, full IP assignment, 90-day payment terms, non-competes that are unenforceable but still intimidating, auto-renewal traps. These terms cost real money when things go wrong.

• Unlimited liability on a £3,000 project, one mistake and you're exposed for the client's full loss
• Full IP assignment meaning you can't use your own work in your portfolio
• 90-day payment terms buried in a standard commercial contract
• Non-compete clauses with no geographic or time limit

What gets flagged

• Unlimited liability, flagged every time, with cap recommendation
• Full IP assignment, distinguishes licensing from transfer, checks for portfolio rights
• Non-competes, duration, scope, geography assessed for enforceability
• Auto-renewal without adequate notice requirements
• Unilateral variation rights, client can change terms unilaterally
• Payment terms beyond 60 days, checked against the Late Payment Act
• Uncapped indemnification and penalty clauses
• Jurisdiction outside England and Wales
• Missing limitation of liability, data protection, and dispute resolution clauses
