From chaos to clarity

From Chaos To Clarity

Messy arrangements cost real money. We've seen that pattern too many times. The fix is usually less dramatic than people expect.

CASE STUDY 01 Startup founder and adviser reviewing cap table papers in a dark studio office with confidential notes

A Startup's Cap Table Mess

Unclear founder rights, no vesting logic, and no usable IP assignment. We rebuilt the agreement set and saved the client £4k in outside legal spend.

“We stopped guessing on day one.”

CASE STUDY 02 Content creator checking brand contract clauses beside a camera setup in a minimalist studio

Influencer Losing Brand Deals

Campaigns kept slipping because the rights and approval rules were vague. We tightened deliverables, usage terms, and payment milestones.

“Everything got cleaner overnight.”

CASE STUDY 03 Property director reviewing service agreement paperwork in a bright boardroom with city skyline behind

Property Firm With No Service Agreements

The team had nothing standardised. We built a simple contract pack that cut negotiation time and reduced admin friction across the board.

“The redactions mattered. So did the speed.”

How we draft your perfect contract

How We Draft Your Perfect Contract

Four steps. No drama. We keep the process tight so you can keep moving. Isn't that the whole point?

01

Quick Brief

A 15-minute call or short form gets the facts on the table. Then we stop guessing and start drafting.

02

Draft Mastery

A senior drafter builds the document from scratch, not from a dusty reused precedent.

03

Review & Refine

Two revision rounds are included. We tighten the wording until it matches the deal.

04

Final Handover

You get Word, PDF, and a plain-English summary. No mystery attachments. No hidden clauses.

The drafter behind the desk

The Drafter Behind The Desk

Stratton & Scott Drafting is built on 15+ years of UK contract work, with direct senior involvement on every brief. You'll work with me, not a paralegal shuffled in from another department. That matters when the details are sticky.

Precision should be readable. If a clause needs a second pass to make sense, it isn't finished.

What founders and MDs say

What Founders & MDs Say

Speed, clarity, and fixed fees. That's the trio clients keep coming back to. Why would they stay otherwise?

Straight answers. No legal jargon.

Straight Answers. No Legal Jargon.

Common questions deserve direct answers. If something still feels murky after this, ask us outright. That's better than leaving a gap in the wording.

We focus on specialist drafting, fixed fees, and quick turnaround. You get commercial language that's built for the brief rather than a billable-hour machine. Why pay for process when you need a usable document?

Yes. We draft to comply with English law and current UK regulations, with structure, wording, and risk allocation tailored to the transaction.

Drafting, two revision rounds, and delivery in Word and PDF. The price stays fixed unless the brief changes materially. Simple.

Yes. Express service is available for shorter briefs, and we keep communication tight so your deadline doesn't become a problem in itself.
