Your Employment Contracts Have Gaps. We Find Them Before a Tribunal Does.

You Can't See the Gap

Most employment contracts look fine until something goes wrong. Outdated clauses, missing provisions, and ambiguous wording are invisible until a claim lands.

The Cost Is Not Theoretical

A single unfair dismissal claim costs £10,000–£30,000 to defend, even when you win. Most SMEs are one wording gap away from a bill they never saw coming.

Prevention Takes 14 Days

We review your contracts, score every risk area, and deliver a written report with a clear action plan. Fixed fee. No surprises. Done in two weeks.

If We Don't Find a Meaningful Risk, You Don't Pay.

Every engagement is backed by a simple guarantee: if our review doesn't identify and fix at least one material issue in your contracts, the fee is waived. No questions asked.

No competitor in this market offers this. We do.

Who This Is For

HR Directors & HR Managers

Decision-makers on contracts and dispute resolution who need specialist review without building internal headcount.

Operations Directors

Responsible for workforce compliance and cost control — exposed to risks they often don't see until it's too late.

CEOs & MDs of SMEs (50–500 staff)

Direct budget authority. Often unaware of the contract risk sitting in their business until a claim arrives.

In-house Legal Counsel

Specialist employment contract support without the cost of a retained law firm.

What Our Clients Say

We'd been using the same contract template for six years. Blackwell found four material gaps in the first review — including a restrictive covenant that would have been unenforceable. Worth every penny of the fixed fee.

Sarah M., HR Director

Midlands-based logistics firm, 180 staff

I was sceptical about paying £1,500 for a contract review when we already had a solicitor on retainer. The report came back with issues our solicitor had never flagged. We've since switched how we handle employment matters entirely.

James T., Managing Director

Professional services SME, 65 staff

The 14-day turnaround was what sold it. We had a new hire starting and needed clarity fast. The report was clear, the risk scores made sense, and the action list told us exactly what to fix first.

Rachel O., Operations Director

Tech scale-up, 120 staff
