Commercial services

Practical support for agreements, disputes and compliance documentation.

Commercial contracts

Get a clear view of what you are agreeing to, where risk sits and which terms to raise before you sign, renew or renegotiate.

We draft and review supply, distribution, reseller, consultancy and subcontractor agreements, terms of business, NDAs and heads of terms. We analyse agreements already in force, including payment, liability, indemnity and termination provisions.

Commercial disputes

When a customer withholds payment, a supplier misses an obligation or the parties disagree about scope, we can review the agreement, organise the evidence and draft suitable pre-action correspondence for you to review and send.

Environmental and commercial compliance

We help document supplier obligations, internal policies and responsibilities under commercial agreements. For licensed asbestos and environmental contractors, we review scope, variations, payment, indemnities and insurance clauses. Technical and licensing decisions should be checked with an appropriately qualified specialist.

Property and rental agreements

Selected business-to-business property management, letting agency, operator and rent-to-rent agreements, including guaranteed rent terms and the review of superior landlord consent provisions. We screen enquiries for matters requiring an authorised provider, including conveyancing or documents requiring a deed or registration.

Amazon seller support

Amazon seller support.

Support with Amazon suspensions, rejected appeals, authenticity and IP complaints. Standard appeals £495, account health reviews £150 and complex matters from £895. Amazon decides reinstatement.

You submit your own response in Seller Central. Reinstatement cannot be guaranteed. We are currently taking preliminary enquiries only.

Suspension appeals

Root cause analysis and a plan of action built on your own records, not a template.

IP complaints

Review the platform notice and organise relevant evidence for your response.

Account health

Policy warnings, listing compliance and the documentation Amazon will ask for next.

Evidence packs

Organise genuine supplier invoices and provenance records against the notice.

Additional services

Also available.

We welcome preliminary enquiries about the following services.

Letters before action

We draft suitable pre-action correspondence for you to review and send. See our commercial disputes service.

  • Unpaid invoices and breach of contract
  • Statutory interest and compensation
  • Responses to claims against your business

Business documents and policies

The paperwork a trading business is expected to hold, prepared as one consistent pack rather than assembled from unrelated templates.

  • Website terms and privacy notices
  • Employment contracts and handbooks
  • Supplier and purchase order terms

Paralegal support for law firms

Overflow capacity for regulated firms. You keep conduct of the matter and the client relationship; we take the preparation off your desk.

  • Drafting, bundles and chronologies
  • Disclosure review and case summaries
  • Per-file or day-rate engagement

How enquiries work

Tell us briefly what you need and whether there is a deadline. We review enquiries during business hours. We are currently taking preliminary enquiries only. Any future instruction requires written acceptance and agreement on scope, fees and timescale.

Scope of service

What we take on, and what we don't.

Holland Law is not a firm of solicitors and is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. That shapes the work we accept, and we would rather be direct about it here than at the point of instruction.

Work we consider

  • Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements
  • Written contract analysis and risk assessment
  • Advice on unreserved commercial and contractual matters
  • Draft commercial correspondence for you to review and send
  • Business-to-business property and rent-to-rent agreements, including licences to occupy and short written agreements
  • Amazon and marketplace account appeals and compliance
  • Pre-action drafting and preparation for commercial discussions
  • Paralegal and drafting support to regulated law firms

These are unreserved legal activities, which any competent provider may carry out. You are free to instruct a regulated firm instead at any stage, and we will say when you should.

Work we cannot accept

  • Conducting litigation or issuing court proceedings
  • Representing you in court as an advocate
  • Conveyancing, land transfers and charges, any lease or surrender requiring a deed or registration at HM Land Registry, and any document lodged for registration
  • Any document required to be executed as a deed
  • Residential tenancy agreements and housing advice
  • Probate and estate administration
  • Immigration advice, which requires separate authorisation
  • Criminal matters of any kind
  • Claims management work, including personal injury and financial mis-selling
  • Any fee calculated as a percentage of a regulated claim

Where a matter needs a regulated firm, we will tell you at the enquiry stage and, if it helps, point you towards the right kind of practice.

Fees

Priced per piece of work, not per hour.

Published fees are provided for information. We are currently taking preliminary enquiries only. If we can take on the matter, we will confirm the scope and total payable in writing before you instruct us.

Questions

Answered plainly.

If your question is not here, please use the contact form below. We would rather answer it before you instruct us than after.

Are you a firm of solicitors?

No. Holland Law is a commercial legal services provider and is not a firm of solicitors, nor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. We take on unreserved legal work only, which is work that does not require authorisation under the Legal Services Act 2007. Nobody at Holland Law holds themselves out as a solicitor or barrister.

Who reviews the work?

Holland Law provides independent, non-SRA-regulated commercial legal and documentation support. No solicitor oversight or regulatory protection is implied by this description.

What does "unreserved" actually mean for me?

Six activities are reserved by statute to authorised people: conducting litigation, appearing in court as an advocate, conveyancing, probate, notarial acts and administering oaths. Everything else, including drafting and negotiating contracts, advising on commercial terms and corresponding with the other side, is open to any competent provider. In practice it means we can do the drafting, analysis, correspondence and negotiation, but if your matter needs a claim issued at court you will need a regulated firm to take that step.

Why do you not publish client names?

Because the fact that a business has taken contract advice is its own information, not ours to advertise. We name a client only where they have asked us to in writing. The sectors listed above describe the work accurately without putting anyone else's name to it.

How quickly can you look at an Amazon suspension?

Use our Amazon enquiry route and tell us the notice date and any deadline. We will confirm whether we can help in time.

Do you only work with businesses in Bristol?

No. Holland Law is based in Bristol and works with businesses across England and Wales. Contracts, analysis, appeals and pre-action correspondence are all handled remotely as a matter of course. Local clients are welcome to meet in person where it is genuinely useful.

Can you prepare a residential tenancy agreement?

No. We take on business-to-business property arrangements such as rent-to-rent and management agreements, but we do not draft residential tenancies or give housing advice. The residential regime has changed materially and that work belongs with a practice that does it daily.

How do you charge, and when do I pay?

We are currently taking preliminary enquiries only. Any future instruction is subject to written acceptance and agreement on the deliverable, fee and timescale. We do not take a percentage of anything you recover.

What if I am unhappy with the service?

Tell us, and we will deal with it. Our complaints procedure is set out at clause 15 of the terms of business: email complaints@hollandlaw.co.uk, and you will have an acknowledgment within five working days and a substantive written response within 28 days. Because we are not an authorised person under the Legal Services Act 2007, complaints about our service cannot be referred to the Legal Ombudsman.

Is what I send you confidential?

Yes. Enquiry details and any documents you send are treated as confidential and used only to assess and carry out your instruction. Legal professional privilege does not apply in the same way as it would with a regulated firm, which is a point we would rather you knew now. Our privacy notice sets out how information is stored, how long it is kept and your rights over it.

Discuss a referral

We welcome introductory conversations with Amazon agencies, e-commerce accountants, fulfilment and prep businesses, and other professional introducers. Tell us what kinds of businesses you support and the issues they bring to you. Keep client names and documents private at this stage.

Make a referral-partner enquiry

Make an initial enquiry

Tell us briefly what happened, what you need and any deadline. An enquiry does not create an engagement or confirm that we can meet a deadline. If a court or other formal deadline is approaching, seek advice promptly from an appropriately authorised provider.

Please keep confidential documents and credentials private.

We use your details to review and respond to your enquiry. See our Privacy Notice. Please keep confidential documents and account credentials private at this stage.
