Great contracts come from people who understand your world. That means tight drafting, plain English, and a calm process when the deadline is already breathing down your neck. Why make legal work feel heavier than it needs to be?

London drafting services
A local office. A steady process.
Clients come to us for clarity, fixed fees, and documents that actually read like they were written for a business owner. Simple, but not casual. Precise, but never stiff.
Our mission
We make drafting accessible, affordable, and jargon-free. That sounds obvious, doesn't it? Yet too many agreements still arrive packed with fluff, hidden risk, and wording that makes a simple decision feel like a legal puzzle.
We strip away the excess and keep the commercial point in view. If a clause can be shorter without losing force, we'll shorten it. If a risk needs spelling out, we won't hide it in decorative legalese.
Fixed-fee transparency
No hourly suspense. No surprise line items.
Reliable turnaround
Fast enough for real-world deadlines.
Our best work helps founders, freelancers, and in-house teams move forward with confidence. What does that feel like? Fewer rewrites, cleaner negotiations, and agreements your team can actually use.
Founded with a simple idea
Legal drafting should support the business, not slow it down.

Senior drafting team
You shouldn't have to chase a faceless inbox. Our clients work with a small team that knows the detail, understands the pressure, and treats every brief like it matters. Why trust a contract to anyone who can't explain it clearly?
Eleanor leads commercial drafting for SMEs and startups, with a sharp eye for risk allocation and a steady hand on negotiations. She has 12 years' experience shaping agreements that clients can actually live with.
Fun fact
She still drafts by hand in meetings when a structure needs to be mapped quickly.
Imran keeps our policies and regulatory wording aligned with current UK practice. He is the one who spots the gap between a neat idea and a document that will hold up in the real world.
Fun fact
He collects old stationery, because good drafting starts with good notes.
Priya makes the process feel straightforward from the first enquiry to the final handover. She keeps timelines visible, expectations clear, and questions answered without the runaround.
Fun fact
She can turn a messy brief into a clean project plan in ten minutes.
Why choose Stratton & Scott Drafting?
Plenty of firms can write a clause. Fewer can explain why it matters, what it protects, and where the negotiation should land. That difference saves time, money, and a lot of back-and-forth.
No surprise hourly billing. You know where you stand before we start.
We keep the language readable, direct, and commercially useful.
Fast, focused drafting for deals that can't wait around.
