What brings you here?
One contract or the whole system: we start from your real business situation
You need a single contract
If you need to:
- draft a commercial contract;
- review the other party's contract;
- renegotiate terms;
- finalise a document before signing;
- get support in negotiations;
- assess a contract ahead of a dispute.
You need to get your whole document system in order
If your business has grown, entered new markets, changed owners, taken on new partners or built a more complex structure.
In these situations, one contract isn't enough. What matters is how all your key documents and legal processes work together.

A contract should work for your business, not just be legally correct
We draft and review:
- commercial contracts;
- supplier and client agreements;
- international contracts;
- partner and shareholder agreements;
- agreements with contractors and service providers;
- other commercial documents.
In a review, we look beyond the wording at:
- each party's liability;
- financial and operational risks;
- payment terms;
- termination;
- governing law;
- dispute resolution;
- whether the contract reflects how you actually operate.
Where needed, we take part in negotiations and help agree the terms.
Strategic Legal Mapping™
When the problem is bigger than one document
Strategic Legal Mapping™ is a comprehensive audit of your business's legal system.
It is especially relevant if:
- your company has grown quickly;
- you've entered new markets;
- templates and documents have piled up over time;
- owners or partners have changed;
- an owner has relocated;
- you now have international employees;
- an issue has shown that your legal setup needs a review.
Depending on the business, the analysis may cover:
- commercial contracts;
- shareholder and partner agreements;
- employee documentation;
- ownership structure;
- business immigration;
- compliance;
- other related legal processes.
What you get
After the audit, you receive:
- a clear view of key risks;
- a list of priorities;
- a roadmap of changes;
- a list of documents to draft or update;
- an implementation plan.
De Facto can then take on the drafting and implementation.

Case study
When a company outgrows its legal structure
A Swedish company expanded into international markets, while its contracts and internal documents were still built for a local business.
As part of a Legal Review, we revised its commercial contracts, partner agreements, employee documentation, KYC and compliance processes.
Result: the legal structure was brought in line with the company's new scale, and key contractual and compliance risks were reduced.

FAQ
FAQ
Can I order just one contract?
Yes. If the task is specific, there's no need for a full audit.
When do I need Strategic Legal Mapping™?
When the issue affects several documents, or your business has changed significantly: it has grown, entered new markets, changed its ownership structure or taken on new cross-border risks.
Can you review the other party's contract?
Yes. We review it, flag the risks and propose changes.
Do you take part in negotiations?
Yes, where the project requires it.
What happens after the audit?
You receive a roadmap. From there, you can move on separately to drafting documents and implementing the changes.
