I’m looking for a UK-qualified contract specialist who can step in each time I send a new Letter of Engagement to an SME client (usually no more than four a month) and carry the negotiation through to signature. Here’s how I see the collaboration working: I supply my base template and the commercial details, you review it quickly, jump on calls or exchange emails with the client’s representative, and drive the discussion until we have clear, balanced terms that protect my position without jeopardising the relationship. Typical pressure points are scope creep, payment milestones, liability caps, confidentiality and IP. I expect a quick summary after each round so I can follow the changes without wading through mark-ups. To keep things moving, a two-to-three-business-day turnaround on comments is ideal. Solid experience in UK contract law plus a confident, pragmatic negotiation style with SMEs is essential. Deliverables for every engagement: • Finalised, signed Letter of Engagement • Redline or change log showing agreed amendments • Brief rationale explaining key concessions or wins If this sounds like a good fit, let me know your credentials and how you typically charge for ongoing work of this nature.

I’m interested in this because SME contract negotiations work best when legal protection and commercial relationships are handled together. I have experience with UK contract law and commercial agreements, including Letters of Engagement, scope, payment milestones, liability caps, confidentiality and IP. I take a practical approach: identify the real risk, explain it clearly, and negotiate terms that are workable for both sides. A common point of pushback is liability wording that appears reasonable but creates uncapped exposure through carve-outs or indirect-loss language. Plan of work: 1. Review your template and commercial terms within the agreed turnaround. 2. Identify negotiation points and prepare clear comments or proposed wording. 3. Negotiate by email or calls with the SME’s representative. 4. Track agreed changes, finalise the Letter of Engagement and support it through signature. After each round, I’ll provide a short summary of changes, concessions and key wins. The main risk is accepting wording that looks minor but creates wider liability later. I’ll control this by checking the agreement as a whole, not just individual clauses.
