Overview

The organisations that avoid costly legal disputes are rarely the ones with the best litigation lawyers on retainer. They are the ones that have identified their legal vulnerabilities early and fixed them before they became problems. Our legal audit service is designed to do exactly that: a systematic, expert review of an organisation’s documents, processes, and practices that finds the gaps, quantifies the risks, and builds the systems to close them.

The audit report is a roadmap, not an endpoint. Our team remains available to implement the recommendations, drafting or updating contracts, policies, and procedures, addressing regulatory gaps, and building the legal frameworks that keep risk at bay going forward. Many clients find that the legal audit marks the beginning of an ongoing advisory relationship with the firm.

How long does a legal audit take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the organisation. A focused audit of a small to mid-sized business typically takes two to four weeks from scoping to delivery of the report. We agree a clear timeline at the outset and work to it.

What does a legal audit cost?

We price legal audits on a fixed-fee basis agreed at the outset, based on the scope of the review. We discuss cost openly before any work begins so there are no surprises.

Do we need a legal audit even if we have not had any legal problems?

Particularly then. The absence of past problems does not mean the absence of current risk. Many organisations carry significant legal exposure in their contracts, employment practices, or regulatory compliance without knowing it. An audit gives you the visibility to address risk before it materialises.

What happens after the audit?

We deliver a written report with prioritised findings and recommended actions. We then remain available to implement those recommendations, including drafting or updating any documents or policies identified in the review.
