Commercial contract support for UK firms
Commercial teams lose most of their capacity to first drafts and amendment turns. A lawyer placed through Singularity works full time producing those drafts to your precedent and house style, and turning counterparty comments so your senior fee-earners review rather than redraft.
They are qualified South African attorneys under your supervision, and your authorised lawyers carry out anything reserved.
What the work looks like
Case and matter work
- First-draft NDAs, MSAs, supply and services agreements
- Licensing and distribution agreement drafting
- Mark-ups and amendment turns against counterparty comments
- Applying your contract playbook consistently
- Contract summaries and obligation schedules
- Precedent and template library upkeep
Client and operational
- Contract register and renewal tracking
- Client correspondence on drafting points
- Turnaround and deadline management
- Liaising with the other side's legal team
- General fee-earner support across the contract book
Drafting is where the hours go
Most commercial practices could take on more work tomorrow if first drafts appeared faster. That is a capacity problem, not a judgement problem, and it is the cleanest thing to hand to a dedicated full-time lawyer who learns your precedents once and then applies them consistently.
How the hire works
You tell us the seat you need filled. We search our network of more than a thousand South African lawyers and put forward a small shortlist, every candidate already scrutinised and interviewed by the lawyers on our own team. You interview them and choose. The search costs you nothing, there is no recruitment fee and no lock-in, and we replace the lawyer whenever you ask, whatever the reason. Your first hire through Singularity carries thirty days at our risk: if it is not a success you pay nothing for the month, and we still pay the lawyer.

Twenty minutes, no deck, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
