    Recommended solicitor for contract review

    Hi All.

    Im looking for any recommendations for a contract review in terms of specific clauses relating to termination and rejoining the client via a different agency. Ive been quoted £195 + VAT for a review, but was wondering if there are any other companies that have been used. This was a quote via Vantage Legal who were recommended by QDOS.

    Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks

    Have you spoken with your accountancy firm? Some review and others don't.

      Yes spoke to them, they offer an IR35 review for a fee, but have said I likely need more in-depth review in terms of specific clauses.

            There is no problem. Just asking if anyone has used a firm in the past that they would recommend so I could obtain a quote from.

              yes, they did a comprehensive assessment of my contract, which although different in detail to two previous contracts, arrived at the same assessment as the previous contracts, in that I'm marginally outside IR35.

                I would suggest accepting QDOS's recommentation, since they have done a number of detailed reviews for me in the past. Money well worth it.

                If you are an IPSE Member, they have a legal helpline, too?
                I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

                  They do, but won't be able to comment or advise on specific contracts, only general points of law and similar which is to do with the definition of qualified advice.

                  Hence I suggested AbbeyTax, who can obviously deal with specific contracts and will review the whole thing, not just the IR35-related bits. Not sure it's the cheapest option though!

                    thanks all for the replies and comments. its not related to IR35, more to the termination clauses in the current contract and working back at the client, but via a different agency. QDOS recommended Vantage, but I will called AbbeyTax aswell for a chat to see what their services are.
