Gloucester Gate Mews, NW1
A calm place to talk through messy contracts. Face to face, if you like that sort of thing.
Our Mission
Contracts that make sense. Is that too much to ask?
Traditional legal services can be opaque, slow, and full of jargon that nobody asked for. We built Stratton & Scott Drafting to do the opposite: fixed fee, plain English, and drafts that arrive fast enough to keep your deal moving.
Precision matters, but so does accessibility. We believe a useful agreement should read like a clear commercial decision, not a lecture. Transparency first. Every time.
Transparency
You’ll know the price, the scope, and the turnaround before we start. No vague estimates. No hidden extras.
Precision
We draft with the commercial outcome in mind, then tighten the language until the clauses do exactly what they should.
Accessibility
Plain English, swift feedback, and a process that respects busy founders. Why make legal work harder than it needs to be?

What We Stand For
Four standards. No fluff.
The legal world loves ornate language. We prefer outcomes. That means practical drafting, honest pricing, and a process you can actually follow without a degree in deciphering contract prose.
Our promise
If a clause can be simpler without losing force, we simplify it. If a deadline needs tightening, we say so. If a term is risky, we flag it early. Simple as that.
Precision Drafting
Every clause is written to work in the real world, not just on paper. That means structure, logic, and commercial clarity from top to bottom.
Fixed Fees Always
The number we quote is the number you plan around. No creeping invoices. No awkward surprises when the work is done.
Radical Transparency
You’ll see our reasoning, the trade-offs, and the next step. Why hide the thinking when the point is to help you decide?
Client-First Approach
We work to your commercial reality, not a template spreadsheet. That’s how contracts become useful instead of ceremonial.
How the work flows
1. Brief and scope
We ask the blunt questions early. What’s changing? What’s the risk? What does a good outcome actually look like?
2. Draft and review
We produce a clean draft, keep the language readable, and deal with the legal edges before they turn into delays.
3. Finalise and deliver
You get a workable document, clear notes, and the confidence to send it out. That’s the whole point, isn’t it?

Marrion Hyes
Founder, North Row Studios
“We needed a supplier agreement that wouldn’t wobble under pressure. The team asked sharp questions, fixed the weak points, and kept the fee exactly where they said it would be.”
Why did we choose Stratton & Scott Drafting?
Commercial Director
“Because they understood the deal in one call, translated it into plain English, and delivered a draft that our internal team could review without endless back-and-forth.”
