CONTRACTING

Practical Contracting Solutions That Protect Your Business

Contracts should protect your business, support your commercial objectives and clearly manage risk. At SL Advisory, we provide practical contracting support that helps businesses enter into agreements with confidence while avoiding unnecessary legal complexity.

Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed or support negotiating commercial terms, we focus on understanding the business relationship and making sure the contract works for you.

We draft clear, commercially practical agreements tailored to your business, industry and specific transaction.

We assist with negotiations and help you understand where you can compromise and where you should protect your position.

Commercial Agreements

Support with agreements including:

• Service agreements
• Master service agreements
• SLAs

• Data-sharing agreements
• Outsourcing agreements

Contract Management

We can help businesses establish practical contract management processes, approval workflows, obligations registers and renewal controls.

Why Work With Us?

We don’t just look at whether a clause is legally acceptable. We consider what the contract means for your business, your operations, your revenue and your risk exposure.

COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY

Navigate Regulation With Confidence

Regulatory compliance can be complex, particularly for businesses operating in regulated industries. SL Advisory helps businesses understand their regulatory obligations and put practical compliance frameworks in place.

Our approach is focused on making compliance practical, proportionate and embedded into the way your business operates.

How We Can Help

Regulatory Compliance Reviews

We assess your current compliance environment, identify gaps and provide practical recommendations to address them.

Regulatory Framework Development

We develop policies, procedures, frameworks and controls aligned to your regulatory obligations.

Regulatory Risk Assessments

We identify areas of regulatory exposure and help management prioritise the risks that require attention.

Compliance Monitoring

We assist with compliance monitoring programmes designed to identify issues before they become regulatory or operational problems.

Regulatory Readiness

Support with preparing for regulatory engagements, audits, inspections, applications and remediation programmes.

Areas of Expertise

Our experience includes regulatory frameworks relating to:

• FSCA
• NCR
• FAIS
• FICA
• Consumer protection
• POPIA
• Financial services
• Credit and debt counselling
• Insurance and intermediary arrangements
• Outsourced and third-party service providers

Practical Compliance, Not Just Paper Compliance

A compliance framework is only useful if people actually understand it and use it.

We focus on helping businesses move from “we have a policy” to “we have a control that works.”

RISK & GOVERNANCE

Identify Risk. Strengthen Governance. Protect Your Business.

Good governance is not about creating unnecessary bureaucracy. It is about having the right structures, controls and accountability in place so that your business can make decisions confidently.

SL Advisory helps businesses identify, assess and manage legal, regulatory, operational and governance risks.

How We Can Help

Risk Assessments

We identify key risks, assess their potential impact and likelihood, and help management prioritise what needs to be addressed.

Risk Registers

We develop practical risk registers that provide management with visibility over key risks, controls, owners and remediation actions.

Governance Frameworks

We assist with developing governance structures that support accountability, decision-making and effective oversight.

Policies & Procedures

We develop practical policies and procedures that translate legal and regulatory requirements into clear operational controls.

Board & Management Support

We assist management and leadership teams with governance matters, risk reporting, regulatory issues and decision-making.

Control Frameworks

We help businesses establish controls around areas such as:

• Delegations of authority
• Contract approvals
• Regulatory compliance
• Third-party risk
• Operational risk
• Legal risk
• Data protection
• Complaints and escalations
• Quality assurance

Turning Risk Into Better Business Decisions

Our approach is not to eliminate every risk — that is rarely possible.

Instead, we help businesses understand which risks matter, what they mean and what should be done about them.
