Fallback
Shorter notice after an agreed minimum commitment.
IP ownership and use

Redline review
From redline to resolution
Small wording changes can shift millions in exposure. Here is how a liability clause can move toward a workable commercial position.
The commercial impact
The revised clause limits ordinary claims to the contract value, keeps defined exceptions intact, and gives both parties a clear risk boundary.
Original counterparty wording
The supplier shall be liable for all losses, costs, claims, and expenses arising from or connected with this agreement, without limitation.
Revised position
The supplier's total liability shall not exceed the fees paid in the preceding twelve months, except for fraud, wilful misconduct, and confidentiality breaches.
What a technology CFO said
"The preparation changed the tone of the renewal. We protected the key service terms and saved $1.2 million against the original supply proposal."

Practical answers
Negotiation support FAQs
Good advice starts with clear boundaries.
Can you negotiate directly with the other side?
Yes, when you ask us to. We otherwise prepare your team, review each response, and keep all communication in your hands.
How involved do we need to be?
We need your commercial priorities and approval of the final positions. We handle the legal analysis and explain the trade-offs plainly.
Is this only for large contracts?
No. A focused redline review can protect a smaller services agreement, renewal, or vendor arrangement where one clause still carries serious risk.
What if the other side insists on its template?
Templates are a starting point. We mark the provisions that need adjustment, explain why, and prepare alternatives where a full change is unlikely.
How is ongoing support priced?
We scope the work around the agreement, expected negotiation rounds, and level of live support. You receive a clear fee proposal before work begins.
Do you keep the discussion confidential?
Yes. We do not contact the counterparty without your permission and handle your documents with discretion.
