📌 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗮𝗦 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀… I was delighted to be invited by the team at Juro to present at their latest Community Hangout, on the topic of "𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐚𝐒 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭." It was a genuinely engaging session, with great questions from the in-house community in the room. 💡 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼𝘂𝘁: ▸ A SaaS customer contract isn't a document to be negotiated: 𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑎 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑎𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑑. ▸ If most customers send back redlines, the problem usually isn't the counterparty; it's the contract. ▸ Architecture, fairness and balance beat 'belt and braces' overkill — every time. 📊 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱: → Clear consensus that the industry-standard liability cap is 100% of annual contract value (no surprise there) → 25% of SaaS vendors building on frontier AI models hadn't yet flowed the supplier's acceptable use policy down to their customers — an action point for many → The top legal tech automation priority for attendees: running playbooks against customer redlines 🙏 Many thanks to Rob Massa , Caitlin Pacini and the Juro team for the invitation and excellent organisation, and to the Juro Community members who brought such great engagement to the discussion. Proud to present this work on behalf of the gunnercooke team. 📩 Happy to share the slides from the session — drop me a DM if you'd like a copy. #SaaS #B2BSaaS #InHouseCounsel #CommercialContracts #LegalOps #LegalTech

My colleague Sophie Thornley at gunnercooke has pulled together a series highlighting common legal issues in construction contracts - a must watch for anyone in the construction industry!

I am thrilled to share that my article has been published in the Law Gazette! The piece explores what a potential blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could mean for commercial contracts: a topic with significant implications for businesses operating in international trade, shipping, and energy markets. I would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share your views in the comments.

Today, the gunnercooke team moved into gunnercooke House. When we started gunnercooke , the idea was there had to be a better way to build a firm. One that worked not just for clients, but for our people and the communities around us. That entrepreneurial model is now widely recognised, but at the time, it was a different way of thinking. What’s followed has been extraordinary growth, particularly over the past five years. A big part of that success is the flexibility our model gives people. The ability to work from wherever they choose has always been fundamental to how we operate. But what we’ve also seen, is how important it is to bring people together. Connection matters. Collaboration matters. And as we’ve grown, and continued to welcome more people into the business - the demand for that has only increased. I’m very excited about what gunnercooke House represents. A space that supports our people, strengthens our community, and gives us the platform to take the next step in our global ambitions. Well done to the entire time who helped pull this all together. Hope to see you all there soon.

I am SO excited to visit our beautiful new Manchester office tomorrow. gunnercooke House is a testament to our ambition and focus on community. Laura Jones , Caroline Rigg and many, many others have done an incredible job bringing it to life - thank you!
