Legal Scan
The Legal Scan is a systematic review of your company against the criteria an investor or a lender applies. You receive a written report with prioritised findings and proposed actions, and you go through it with the partners.
Who it is for
What is reviewed
We look at the areas that an outside party examines before committing money or signing a deal:
Corporate organisation and corporate formalities
Contracts with customers, suppliers and partners
Employment relationships
Regulatory compliance and data protection
Real estate, licences and pending cases
A written report that ranks the findings by priority and proposes specific actions for each, followed by a meeting with the partners to discuss it. The aim is a clear list of what needs attention now, what can wait, and what is already in order.
After an initial conversation we agree the scope of the review and the documents we will need. The fee is agreed in advance and in writing, before work starts. We then review the documents, ask follow-up questions where needed, and deliver the report. Clients of the firm's Proactive Support receive an annual refresh of their Legal Scan.
FAQ
It is a structured review of a company's legal position: its corporate records, contracts, employment arrangements, compliance, property, licences and pending cases. The Legal Scan reviews these by the criteria an investor or bank would apply.
It helps. Lenders and investors run their own due diligence. Reviewing the company first lets you identify and address issues on your own timetable rather than during negotiations.
A written report with the findings ranked by priority and proposed actions, and a meeting with the partners to go through it.
It uses similar criteria, but it is carried out for the company itself rather than for a buyer or lender, so the findings serve your own planning.
