Our core contract drafting services
Clear options. Strong documents. Less back-and-forth.
We draft the agreements people rely on every day. Commercial contracts, privacy terms, SaaS paperwork, and employment documentation all need different safeguards, don’t they?

Learn moreEmployment Contracts
Straightforward employment paperwork with the right balance of clarity, protection, and regulatory awareness.

We draft bespoke agreements for almost any sector. If your process is unusual, that’s fine. It usually means the document needs a sharper brain behind it.
Tailored agreements for your sector
Sector-specific drafting feels safer. Because it is.
A landlord’s lease, a clinic’s consent form, and a startup’s subscription terms all fail in different ways. We plan for those differences from the start.

“
Camden café chain
Before: supply terms were being accepted by email, with no clear fallback if stock arrived late. After: one tidy contract now covers pricing, delivery windows, and breach remedies. Disputes fell by 40%.
Outcome: fewer arguments, faster reorder cycles.
“
Shoreditch SaaS startup
Before: sign-ups were happening on a page with loose terms and no service limits. After: a subscription agreement clarified usage rights, support levels, and billing triggers. They onboarded 200 users in week one.
Outcome: cleaner growth, fewer support queries.
“
London veterinary practice
Before: consent documents were inconsistent and hard to explain to pet owners. After: a clearer form made expectations easier to discuss and easier to store. Reception staff reported far fewer callbacks.
Outcome: smoother consent, calmer front desk.

Human judgement still matters
Stratton & Scott Drafting pairs a lead drafter with 15+ years in UK contract law with careful paralegal support, so every document is shaped by experience rather than a template engine.
“Unlike automated templates, every contract is shaped by human expertise. That’s how we keep it practical, enforceable, and clear enough for clients to actually use.”

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for busy decision-makers
If you’re weighing cost, timing, or legal enforceability, these are the questions we hear most. Want a specific quote instead? That’s easy.
Contact us for a specific quoteHow much does contract drafting cost?
We usually work on fixed-fee ranges, agreed upfront after a brief scoping call. The price depends on complexity, number of parties, and how much tailoring your document needs.
How long does it take?
Many documents are drafted within 5 working days, sometimes sooner if the scope is tight. Need a faster response? Ask us and we’ll be direct about what’s possible.
Do you use templates?
We use proven drafting structures, then tailor them to your commercial realities. That’s very different from dropping your details into a generic form and hoping for the best.
Are your contracts legally binding in the UK?
Our documents are drafted with UK enforceability in mind, and we explain the practical steps needed to make them work properly. Need help with regulatory compliance UK concerns? We can cover that too.
What happens if I need changes after delivery?
We include revision rounds during the drafting process, and we can also support future updates when your business changes. Contracts should evolve with you, shouldn’t they?
Can you handle multi-party agreements?
Yes. We regularly draft agreements with multiple signatories, layered obligations, and more nuanced risk allocation. That’s where careful structure really pays off.
