Contract Review.

Your contract is one your most crucial documents - and one of the most important practice investments a private midwife will ever make.

Our professional guidelines, codes, policies, statements and laws are all separate from contract law - and what may be perfectly compliant from a professional sense, may not be compliant under contract law. And that can leave you - and women - exposed.

Your contract protects you and women - when structured adequately and appropriately. It is what sets our the terms and conditions that allow you to be paid - and without it, there is no business!

In our contract review service, we:

  • Review your contract and give you feedback and specific midwifery business advice (not legal advice) on things to consider in view of the intersection between consumer law and professional standards - real-life practical considerations

  • Help you to ensure that your contract meets both contract/consumer law and professional standards

  • Help you to structure your contract if you’re new to private practice, or have been working without one so far

  • Help you strengthen an existing contract

  • Outline some of the tips, traps, things that can go awry and things to be mindful of - so that you can take considered thought about the contract of your contract

This is not legal advice - but midwifery business advice drawing from over 20 years in private practice, running businesses in multiple industries, regulatory experience and Masters-level business law study.
