Contract Lawyer | Oxford & Bar Qualified | Drafting Review Negotiation

✦ ✦ ✦ I offer a FREE 30-minute consultation — message me to book yours. MOST CONTRACTS ARE WRITTEN FOR THE OTHER SIDE. If you've received a contract to sign, there's a good chance it was drafted by the other party's lawyers, with provisions designed to protect their interests, limit their liability, and maximise their flexibility at your expense. I'm here to change that. My name is Alice. I'm an Oxford University Law graduate and qualified Barrister (University of Law, London), with over six years of legal experience — including five years in the Enforcement Division of the Financial Conduct Authority, the UK's financial regulator, where I spent my professional life analysing the documents that large institutions use to protect themselves. I now work exclusively in contract law — drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts for founders, freelancers, creators, coaches, agencies, businesses, and individuals who need legal protection that actually works. Whether you're a founder, a freelancer, a creator, or simply someone who needs a contract lawyer on your side — I'm here. At $150/hour, you're getting Oxford and Bar-qualified expertise at a fraction of what a high street solicitor or barrister would charge. --- THE LAW IS A SHIELD. The legal system was built by those with the resources to shape it, and most standard contracts reflect that. The terms of service written by the platform's lawyers. The supplier agreement drafted by the supplier's legal team. The employment contract designed to protect the employer. The investor term sheet structured to favour the investor. Most people sign these documents without fully understanding what they've agreed to. The protection they thought they had isn't always there. I make sure you see the full picture — before you sign. I believe a contract is the most precise expression of two parties' genuine intentions — and when it's written well, in plain language, by someone on your side, it's the most powerful legal protection available to any individual or business. When it's written by the other party, for the other party, you're at a disadvantage. This is what drives my practice. I'm not here to generate paperwork. I'm here to ensure that the documents governing your most important professional and personal relationships are working for you — not against you. --- WHAT I DO: ✦ Contract Drafting. Bespoke contracts written from scratch — in plain language, covering your specific situation, protecting your interests precisely. Every contract I produce is tailored to you. Not a template. Not an adaptation. Yours. ✦ Contract Review. You send me the contract you've received. I tell you exactly what it says — including the provisions that were designed to protect the other party at your expense. You sign knowing precisely what you've agreed to. ✦ Pre-Litigation Contractual Advice. Have a potential breach of contract situation? I assess your position, review your evidence, and advise on whether you have a viable claim or counterclaim — before you spend money on formal proceedings. UK courts require pre-litigation negotiation before a claim is filed. I guide you through that process. ✦ Contract Negotiation. As a trained Barrister, negotiation is a core skill — not an add-on. I negotiate on your behalf and support you at every stage, whether pre-contract, mid-dispute, or pre-litigation. --- WHY MY CLIENTS COME BACK. I don't take on work I can't do exceptionally well, which is why my practice is focused exclusively on contract law and the advisory work that surrounds it. Contracts aren't paperwork to me. They're language — and language is everything. A single poorly drafted clause, an ambiguous definition, a missing provision — these aren't minor oversights. They're the gaps that disputes fill. I'm obsessive about precision because I've seen, from the inside, what happens when the words aren't right. I bring to every contract the analytical rigour of an Oxford law degree, the advocacy training of the Bar, and the practical intelligence of five years reading the documents that regulators and institutions use to protect their own interests. I know what a well-drafted agreement looks like. I know what the other party's lawyers are trying to achieve. And I know how to write the version that protects you. A decade on this platform. Clients who return. Read their words below. --- READY TO BEGIN? ✦ ✦ ✦ Message me to arrange your FREE 30-minute consultation. No obligation. Just a conversation about your situation — and whether I'm the right person to help. You signed the contract they wrote. Now let's write the one that protects you. --- OXFORD-TRAINED. BAR-QUALIFIED. CONTRACT SPECIALIST. ON YOUR SIDE.
