We sell into large telecoms and enterprise customers — their procurement teams push hard on liability caps. What's realistic?

More movement than people assume, but the strongest position usually isn't the highest cap — it's a layered position (a base cap, a higher cap for specific carve-outs, and a small number of unlimited heads for things you actually do need to stand behind). Procurement teams respond better to that structure than to a single number.

We have a contract template — can you just pressure-test it?

Yes. A focused review of an existing template is one of the most cost-effective things a growing business can do. We'll identify the clauses that carry real risk and the language worth tightening.

Is your work covered by SRA regulation?

Yes. Radcliffe Enterprise Law is a regulated firm and our work is subject to the SRA Standards and Regulations.

Do you only work with businesses in Newbury?

No — we work with businesses across Oxfordshire, the Thames Valley and the Oxford-to-Cambridge corridor, and remotely with clients further afield. Most matters can be handled without ever needing to meet in person.

Why this matters in Newbury

Locally relevant context.

We see the same patterns repeatedly with Newbury-area businesses: contracts that were fine at start-up stage no longer reflect how the business actually trades, or weren't pressure-tested for the deal sizes coming through today.

Newbury Business Park and the surrounding commercial estates host a long-established mix of telecoms, technology, professional services and specialist B2B businesses, alongside a healthy local SME base.

What's specific about contract solicitor in Newbury

Local considerations for Newbury businesses.

Newbury's telecoms and technology cluster (anchored by the Vodafone presence and the surrounding ecosystem) generates a steady volume of supply-chain, channel-partner and SaaS contracts where the counterparty templates are heavily one-sided.
Professional services firms around Newbury Business Park sign engagement letters, MSAs and data-handling addenda regularly — clarity on scope, liability cap and IP ownership is the highest-leverage drafting work available.
Specialist B2B suppliers selling into large UK enterprises routinely face long, unfamiliar customer-paper templates; a focused redline of the half-dozen clauses that actually move risk usually beats a full rewrite.
Many Newbury businesses serve customers under long-running framework contracts; getting the call-off mechanics, change-control and exit terms right matters more than the headline rate.
