Before you sign any contract in Cork, having it reviewed by a qualified Irish solicitor is one of the most important legal steps you can take. Contracts are written to protect the interests of the party who drafted them — without professional review, you may be committing to obligations you don’t fully understand or accepting terms that put you at significant risk. Our Contract Review Solicitor service lets you upload any document and receive a thorough, professional legal review at a fixed fee.
What Types of Contracts Can We Review?
- Employment contracts: Before accepting a new role — checking non-competes, IP clauses, and notice periods
- Commercial contracts: Supply agreements, service contracts, and business-to-business arrangements
- Settlement agreements: Redundancy and termination packages
- Property contracts: Contracts for sale, licence agreements, and lease reviews
- Business purchase agreements: Asset or share sales
- Franchise agreements: Before entering a franchise arrangement
- Shareholder agreements: Co-founder and investor agreements
- Technology and SaaS agreements: Software licensing and service-level agreements
- Supplier and vendor agreements: Terms imposed by large suppliers or clients
What Does the Review Include?
When you upload your contract, our solicitors will:
- Review the full contract and identify unfavourable or unusual clauses
- Explain the key terms and obligations in plain, jargon-free language
- Flag clauses that create significant legal or financial risk
- Advise on whether the terms are standard or negotiable
- Recommend specific amendments or deletions where appropriate
- Provide a written summary of key risks and recommended actions
Key Clauses We Always Check
- Limitation of liability: Are the caps appropriate? Are consequential losses excluded?
- Intellectual property: Who owns the work product, ideas, and developments?
- Non-compete and non-solicitation: Are the restrictions enforceable and proportionate under Irish law?
- Termination: Can you exit the contract? On what terms?
- Governing law: Is Irish law specified?
- Confidentiality: Are the obligations reasonable in scope and duration?
