Our Services
Strata Books provides specialist legal advice across three core practice areas. Whether you need assistance with a specific project or ongoing strategic counsel, we tailor our services to your requirements.
Regulatory Compliance
The regulatory environment is constantly evolving. New rules, changing interpretations, and increased enforcement activity mean organizations must stay vigilant to avoid costly breaches.
We help government departments and corporations navigate regulatory complexity with confidence. Our services include:
Compliance Framework Design — We work with you to develop compliance systems proportionate to your risk profile and organizational structure. This includes policies, procedures, training programs, and monitoring mechanisms.
Regulatory Advice — When you’re unsure how regulations apply to your specific circumstances, we provide clear guidance on your obligations and how to meet them efficiently.
Regulatory Engagement — Dealing with regulators requires careful preparation and communication. We help you respond to inquiries, manage investigations, and maintain constructive regulatory relationships.
Compliance Audits — We conduct comprehensive reviews of your compliance arrangements, identifying gaps and recommending improvements before issues arise.
Training and Capability Building — We deliver tailored training to help your teams understand their compliance responsibilities and embed compliance into day-to-day operations.
Our clients include government bodies implementing regulatory frameworks and corporations in highly regulated sectors. We understand both sides of the regulatory relationship and use this perspective to provide pragmatic, effective advice.
Contact UsCommercial Contracts
Well-drafted contracts are essential for successful business relationships. They provide clarity, allocate risk appropriately, and establish mechanisms for resolving disputes.
Whether you’re negotiating a major outsourcing agreement, managing supplier relationships, or dealing with contract disputes, we provide comprehensive commercial contract support:
Contract Drafting — We prepare clear, enforceable contracts that protect your interests while facilitating productive commercial relationships. Our drafting balances legal protection with commercial pragmatism.
Contract Negotiation — Negotiating complex agreements requires both legal expertise and commercial judgment. We represent clients in negotiations, finding creative solutions that satisfy all parties while protecting your position.
Contract Review — Before you sign, we review proposed agreements to identify risks, ambiguities, and opportunities for improvement. We explain key terms in plain language and recommend negotiation strategies.
Contract Management Advice — Once contracts are signed, issues inevitably arise. We advise on interpretation, variation, termination, and dispute resolution to help you manage contracts effectively throughout their lifecycle.
Dispute Resolution — When contractual disputes occur, we work to resolve them efficiently through negotiation, mediation, or if necessary, litigation. Our goal is always to find pragmatic solutions that preserve business relationships where possible.
For government clients, we have particular expertise in public procurement processes and the unique requirements of government contracting. For corporate clients, we handle everything from supplier agreements to strategic partnerships.
Contact UsCorporate Governance
Strong governance is the foundation of organizational success. It builds stakeholder confidence, supports effective decision-making, and helps organizations navigate complexity while managing risk.
We advise boards, executives, and governance professionals on all aspects of corporate governance:
Board Advisory — We provide practical guidance to boards on their legal duties, responsibilities, and liabilities. This includes advice on decision-making processes, conflicts of interest, and managing stakeholder expectations.
Governance Framework Development — We help organizations design and implement governance structures appropriate to their size, complexity, and risk profile. This includes board charters, committee structures, delegation frameworks, and reporting mechanisms.
Risk Management and Internal Controls — Effective governance requires robust risk management systems. We advise on risk governance frameworks, internal control mechanisms, and assurance processes.
Stakeholder Relations — Managing relationships with shareholders, employees, regulators, and other stakeholders requires careful attention to legal obligations and strategic communication. We provide advice on stakeholder engagement and disclosure requirements.
Governance Reviews — We conduct comprehensive reviews of governance arrangements, benchmarking against best practice and identifying opportunities for improvement.
Crisis and Issue Management — When governance failures occur or organizations face reputational challenges, rapid response is essential. We provide urgent advice on managing crises while maintaining governance standards.
For public sector clients, we understand the additional accountability requirements and public interest considerations that apply to government organizations. For corporations, we advise on both regulatory governance obligations and broader governance best practices.
