External legal support that fits the way your business operates.

A practical legal function

Support for the documents, decisions and disputes that keep moving.

Many organisations do not need a full in-house legal department, but they do need someone who can understand the operational context, keep the record organised and produce clear legal work. CIVITAS can assist on a defined assignment or an agreed continuing scope.

Commercial contracts

Drafting and review of vendor, service, consultancy and commercial agreements, with attention to payment, deliverables, responsibility, confidentiality, termination, dispute handling and the practical steps required if performance fails.

Employment and HR documentation

Review and preparation of appointment terms, workplace documents, notices, responses and separation paperwork. The work is matched to the role, business record and issue rather than treated as a generic template exercise.

Compliance and regulatory support

Research, document review, internal record organisation, policy support and coordination of responses to relevant regulators or public authorities. The precise scope is agreed after identifying the business activity and the applicable requirements.

Notices, recoveries and disputes

Preparation of legal notices and replies, review of payment or performance disputes, settlement documentation and coordination of civil or commercial proceedings where escalation becomes necessary.

Ways to engage

• One contract or document review
