Contracts Advisory
Last reviewed: 18 October 2026
Contracts are a commercial function, and most organisations run theirs by improvisation. Yuzu ALSP advises on the contracting function itself: the playbooks, templates and approval workflows that make contracting repeatable rather than improvised.
We advise on commercial terms and the process around them. Where a matter requires regulated legal advice or the negotiation of binding legal terms, we work alongside your instructed solicitors; our mandate is the contracting function.
What it covers
- Contract playbooks and negotiation guidance
- Template architecture and clause libraries
- Approval workflows and authority matrices
- Commercial-term negotiation support
- Contract risk scoring and escalation rules
Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No; we advise on the contracting function and commercial terms. Regulated legal work sits with your instructed solicitors.
Typical engagement?
Four to eight weeks to build the playbook and workflows, then optional ongoing support.
Who is it for?
CFOs, COOs and commercial leads whose contract volume has outgrown their process.
Yuzu provides commercial risk management, legal operations and strategic advisory services. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal services or legal advice. Clients requiring regulated legal services should instruct a qualified solicitor or law firm.
