Corporate and Commercial Law Editing and Proofreading Services

Commercial agreements are negotiated by people in a hurry and read later by people looking for an advantage. Between those two moments sits every drafting shortcut: a defined term used before it is defined, a schedule referenced but never attached, an indemnity whose scope depends on where you put a comma. Editing is the step that finds these while they are still cheap to fix.

We edit share and asset purchase agreements, shareholder and partnership agreements, supply, distribution and services contracts, terms and conditions, NDAs, employment agreements, board minutes and resolutions, due diligence reports, and closing documents. Our editors verify internal cross-references, check defined terms against their definitions and against actual usage, confirm every schedule and exhibit referenced actually exists, and flag inconsistent numbering after heavy redlining.

Long negotiations are where documents quietly break. Clause 12.3 gets deleted and four cross-references now point nowhere; a party is "the Purchaser" in one section and "the Buyer" in the next. We read the agreement as a whole, which is precisely what nobody has time to do at 11 p.m. before a closing.

All commercial material is treated as confidential. We do not alter deal terms — we make sure the document says the deal you actually made.
