Contract management
A signed contract should not disappear into a folder until something goes wrong.
We are developing an ongoing contract-management service for businesses that need visibility over renewals, notice periods, obligations, price changes and legal risk across their contract portfolio.
The problem is often not drafting. It is what happens after signature.
Businesses accumulate leases, supplier agreements, customer contracts, service agreements and licences. Important dates and obligations are then spread across inboxes and shared drives. A missed renewal date or notice period can have real financial consequences.
A managed register can track
- Start and end dates
- Renewal and notice periods
- Termination rights
- Price escalations
- Insurance or guarantee requirements
- Material obligations and milestones
- Outstanding signatures and amendments
Where attorneys add value
Technology can extract dates and clauses efficiently. Legal judgment is still needed when the wording is ambiguous, the commercial position changes, a breach occurs, or the business must decide how to exercise a contractual right.
This service is intended to develop alongside HS Legal Partner so that recurring commercial clients can combine legal advice with practical oversight of their contract portfolio.
Contract management: practical questions
Which contracts are worth tracking?
Businesses often benefit from tracking customer agreements, supplier contracts, leases, licences, service agreements, distribution arrangements and any contract with meaningful renewal, notice, pricing or compliance obligations.
What information can a contract register capture?
Typical fields include contract parties, start and end dates, renewal mechanics, notice periods, escalation clauses, guarantees, insurance requirements, material obligations, signatures and amendments.
What happens when a contract problem is identified?
Attorney involvement becomes valuable when wording is ambiguous, a deadline is approaching, a breach occurs or the business must exercise a contractual right. New agreements can also be sent through our Contract Review service.

Tell us about your contract portfolio.
We can then assess whether a managed contract register and ongoing legal oversight would add value.
Submitting this form does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. We will first review the enquiry, complete any required conflict checks and contact you about the appropriate next step.
