Termination Rights Review

Terminating a commercial contract is a step that needs to be done correctly. The wrong termination, wrong notice, wrong grounds, wrong process, can flip the position from terminator to repudiator, with potentially significant liability.

Why termination needs to be checked before it happens

The review covers: what termination rights exist on the facts (contractual termination, common law termination for repudiatory breach, termination for convenience); what the proper notice requirements are; what conditions or cure periods apply; and what the immediate financial consequences of termination are likely to be.

Done properly, termination is a clean exit. Done badly, it is the start of the dispute, not the end.

Suitable for parties considering termination of a commercial contract who need a clear view of their rights and the proper process before acting.

Example: a typical scope and fixed fee

For a review of termination rights under a single contract, the typical scope looks like this.

What's included

• Review of the contract (up to 30 pages) and relevant correspondence
• A written advice on the available termination rights, the proper notice and process, and the consequences of termination
• A follow-up call to discuss the advice

What's outside this scope

• Drafting the termination notice (I can quote for this separately)
• Negotiation with the other party
• Court proceedings
• Tax advice

Fixed fee: £295, no VAT.
