Review and summarise contractDue diligence refers to the research a company does to confirm that a potential transaction is sound. This research includes looking at the financials of the company, their products or services, and their business model. Due diligence also includes making sure that the company is in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
The template's aim is to detect any potential risks, liabilities, or non-compliance issues arising from the target company's commercial contracts. This review typically covers a wide range of contractual documents, such as purchase agreements, supply and distribution agreements, license and lease agreements, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, and any other agreements that may impact the target company's operations or legal position.
Key areas of focus within the due diligence review involve scrutinizing contractual terms and conditions, identifying potential breaches of contract, ascertaining the enforceability and validity of contracts, evaluating any ongoing disputes or litigation related to contracts, and assessing the financial implications, including termination clauses, indemnification provisions, and liability limitations. Additionally, the template may also incorporate factors such as contract assignment provisions, change of control clauses, and the appropriateness of any change of control consents required.
By utilizing this legal template, potential issues or liabilities can be identified, allowing the parties involved in the share purchase transaction to make informed decisions and take necessary steps to mitigate risks.

Software Engineer Contract
This Software Engineer contract template is designed for a commercial software engineering organisation (or an individual software engineer) to use when contracting out their skills and services in exchange for payment. This contract sets out the type of software engineering and software-engineering-related services to be completed by the software engineer on behalf of the client, with consideration for expectations around quality and delivery timescales, as well as any mitigating circumstances. This contract allows for payment to be made by the client to the software engineering firm or individual software engineer on a weekly or monthly basis but can easily be edited to account for other payment schedules and could be altered to include bonuses conditional on performance. It can also be fully customised with the details of the two parties and the duration of the contract and can be printed, downloaded and edited freely as part of our mission to open source business legals. This is a template for contractors who fit outside of the UK's off-payroll working rules (IR35).
