Legal document drafting · England & Wales
Drafted Legal
Bespoke legal documents for startups and small businesses.
We draft the contracts, NDAs and agreements your business actually needs, each one built around your situation rather than pulled off a shelf. Everything is written in plain English and checked by a person before it reaches you. Fixed fees from £60, delivered in 48 hours.
1.2Limitation of Liability. The Supplier's total liability under this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall not be limited. not exceed the fees paid in the prior 12 months.
↖ uncapped: one bad month could sink you. add a cap.
1.3Nothing in this clause limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
§1 · Who we are
Real people, not a template or a chatbot.
Drafted Legal is a small team built on one idea: founders and small businesses deserve documents written for their actual situation, and written clearly enough that they can understand what they're signing.
We started after watching the businesses around us get stuck between a free template that doesn't fit and a £300/hr solicitor they can't justify. That gap, too small for a law firm but too important to leave to a template, is where we work.
Every engagement starts with questions, not a template. We draft around your actual situation and read every document with legal training, then tell you in plain English exactly what you're signing, for a fraction of what a firm would charge.

§2 · Schedule of services
Fixed fees. Every document drafted around you.
No hourly billing, no surprises. Each price includes one free round of revisions and a plain-English summary.
§3 · Why not just use AI?
AI writes fast. It just doesn't know what you forgot to mention.
Ask a chatbot for an NDA and you'll get one in seconds. The trouble is that it only works with what you gave it, and you probably didn't know to mention the jurisdiction, the pre-existing IP, or where a sensible liability cap should sit.
We read every draft the way a solicitor would: looking for the clause that isn't there, the term that's quietly too broad, the protection you didn't know to ask for. Then we tell you, in plain words, what you're signing.
For £60, that's cheap insurance against a document that looks fine until the day it matters.
8.1This Agreement is governed by the laws of the relevant country. the law of England and Wales.
↖ "relevant country" is meaningless: courts need certainty.
The maths · what you'd pay elsewhere
Cost · a bespoke NDA

§4 · How it works
From enquiry to finished document in four steps.
Tell us what you need
Fill out a short enquiry. No calls at this stage, just enough for us to understand your business and what you need.
We ask the questions you didn't expect
We follow up before drafting begins. This is the part that separates a tailored document from a template pulled off the internet.
Drafting begins
Your document is delivered within 48 hours of us having everything we need. One round of revisions is included at no extra cost.
Delivered and explained
A plain-English summary arrives alongside the document, so you know exactly what you're signing and why.
§5 · Common questions
Straight answers to the usual questions.
No, and we're upfront about that. Drafted Legal provides document drafting, not legal advice, and we're not qualified solicitors. What we offer is a human-reviewed document, built around your context, at a price that makes sense for an early-stage business. For anything complex or high-stakes, we'll always tell you to involve a solicitor.
You can, and it might be fine. But AI only knows what you tell it, and you usually don't know what to tell it. Which jurisdiction applies? What happens to pre-existing IP? Where should the liability cap sit? We ask those questions before writing a word.
Every engagement includes one free round of revisions. Beyond that, we'll agree a reasonable fee with you before doing anything. No hourly billing, no surprises.
We draft under the law of England and Wales. If your situation involves another jurisdiction, we'll say so upfront and point you to a local specialist if that's the better route.
Yes. Everything you share is treated in strict confidence and used only to prepare your document. If you'd like a confidentiality agreement covering the engagement itself, we'll include one at no extra cost.
§6 · Execution
Let's draft something around your business.
Tell us what you need and a little about your situation. We'll come back within 24 hours, usually with a question or two before we begin.
