Each fee assumes an agreement of reasonable length and complexity for that type. Materially longer, multi-party, or more complex agreements are confirmed in writing before drafting begins — you'll never be charged more than agreed without prior discussion.

Bundle & Save

Several documents? Your extras are up to 30% off.

Add multiple documents to one engagement — any mix of review and drafting. Your most expensive document is charged in full; every additional document is discounted by its position. One scoping consultation, one payment, one matter.

  • Most expensive documentFull price
  • Documents 2–420% off
  • Documents 5+30% off

Documents are ranked by price (most expensive first). Discounts apply to each document's excl-VAT fee; VAT is charged on the discounted total. Subject to a conflict check, scope confirmation, and our standard engagement terms.

For the businesses we act for

The Keystone Workspace

The attorney-designed platform the businesses we act for use to run their contracts, e-signatures and company secretarial work in one place.

How It Works

1

Choose & Book

Pick the agreement you need, create your account, and pay the fixed fee online to secure your scoping consultation. If we cannot proceed with your matter, the fee is refunded.

2

Scoping Consultation

We discuss the commercial arrangement, the parties involved, and what the agreement needs to achieve — so the draft reflects your actual business relationship, not a generic template.

3

Bespoke Drafting

A senior attorney drafts the agreement from scratch, tailored to your specific requirements and risk profile. Personally drafted — not delegated to a junior.

4

Delivery & Revision

You receive the draft in editable Word format, typically within 5 to 10 working days. One round of revisions is included. The final agreement is delivered promptly after your feedback.

What Influences the Fee

Type and complexityA straightforward NDA is less complex than a multi-party technology agreement.
Risk allocation sensitivityIP-heavy, regulated, or high-value arrangements require more careful drafting.
Counterparty negotiationIf the agreement will be negotiated, the drafting may need to anticipate likely pushback.
Bespoke vs existing frameworkDrafting from scratch costs more than adapting an existing agreement you already have.
Number of partiesMulti-party agreements are inherently more complex than bilateral ones.

The published fee for each agreement type assumes a document of reasonable length and complexity. Materially longer, multi-party, or more complex agreements are confirmed in writing before drafting begins. We always confirm before starting.

Bespoke vs Template

Template

Generic risk allocation that may not suit your business
No understanding of your commercial arrangement
May not comply with South African law
No attorney input or oversight
No recourse if the agreement fails to protect you
Typically R500–R3,000

Bespoke

Tailored to your specific commercial arrangement
Risk properly allocated between the parties
CPA, ECTA, and POPIA compliant where required
Senior attorney drafts and advises throughout
Designed for enforceability under South African law
From R1,650

A contract governs the relationship between you and the other party. The cost of rewriting it after a dispute is always higher than the cost of drafting it properly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the fees inclusive of VAT?

No. All fees are quoted exclusive of 15% VAT. The price-list figures on this page include VAT for convenience; your engagement letter quotes the excl-VAT fee.

When do I pay?

Up-front, to book your scoping consultation. After you choose your agreement type, you pay the fixed fee online to secure your consultation slot. If, after the consultation, we cannot proceed with your matter, the fee is refunded.

How long does drafting take?

Typically 5 to 10 working days depending on the complexity of the agreement. The timeline is confirmed during the scoping consultation.

How many rounds of revision are included?

One round of revisions to the draft we deliver is included in the fixed fee. Further rounds of revision, redrafting to reflect a counterparty's markup, and negotiation with the counterparty are not included — each is quoted and agreed with you before any further work begins.

Do you travel or attend in person?

No. The scoping consultation and revision round are conducted online or by phone. Travel and in-person attendance are not included in the fixed fee and are quoted separately if required.

Can you negotiate the counterparty's markup?

Yes. Negotiation support can be quoted separately or provided on an hourly basis. This is a common add-on to the drafting engagement.

Do you draft employment contracts?

Yes. Employment and engagement agreements — standard and fixed-term employment contracts, restraint of trade, executive and director service agreements, independent contractor and consultancy agreements, and a workplace policies pack — are in our fixed-fee drafting catalogue, at the per-document price shown on the price list. Contentious labour matters (CCMA referrals, disciplinary processes) are quoted separately.

What if I already have a draft I want improved?

If you already have a draft you want reviewed rather than written from scratch, our 24-Hour Contract Review is the right service. This drafting service produces a bespoke agreement from your requirements.

Can you draft agreements for regulated industries?

Yes. We consider sector-specific regulatory requirements including financial services regulations, technology and data protection laws, and industry-specific compliance obligations.
