Real Outcomes for Real Clients.
A selection of anonymised matters where ClauseWise documentation and compliance support made a measurable difference.
Supplier Agreement — Three Risky Clauses Caught Before Signing
Situation
A Gauteng-based manufacturing SME was about to sign a multi-year supplier agreement. The contract had been drafted by the supplier's legal team and presented as standard.
What We Did
ClauseWise conducted a full contract review, identifying an automatic renewal clause with a 90-day opt-out window, an uncapped liability clause, and a unilateral price-variation right that could have increased costs by up to 15% annually.
Outcome
All three clauses were renegotiated before signing. The client saved an estimated R180,000 in potential exposure over the contract term.
Commercial Lease Dispute — Settlement Without Litigation
Situation
A tenant in a commercial property dispute faced a landlord threatening eviction and claiming R95,000 in alleged arrears. The tenant disputed the calculation and had no documentation to support their position.
What We Did
ClauseWise prepared a full dispute file — lease history, payment records, correspondence analysis, and a counter-claim schedule. We supported the client through court-annexed mediation, presenting a structured settlement proposal.
Outcome
The matter settled at mediation. The client paid R28,000 (agreed final settlement) versus the R95,000 claimed — and avoided litigation costs estimated at R40,000+.
Retail Group — Full HR Documentation Suite in 12 Days
Situation
A retail group with 14 employees had been operating on verbal agreements and a single outdated employment contract template for three years. A CCMA referral highlighted the gap.
What We Did
ClauseWise drafted a complete HR documentation suite: employment contracts (permanent and fixed-term), a disciplinary code and procedure, a leave policy, and a confidentiality agreement — all aligned to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
Outcome
Full documentation in place within 12 working days. The CCMA matter was resolved in the employer's favour. The client enrolled in the Business Essential Membership for ongoing compliance support.

What Our Clients Say
Practical support that makes a real difference — for individuals, entrepreneurs, and established businesses.
“ClauseWise reviewed our supplier agreements before we signed. They flagged three clauses that could have cost us significantly down the line. The fixed-price quote meant no surprises — exactly what a growing business needs.”
T. Dlamini
Director, SME Manufacturing Business
“I was in a lease dispute with my landlord and had no idea where to start. ClauseWise prepared all my documentation and guided me through the court-annexed mediation process. We reached a settlement without going to court.”
M. van der Berg
Individual Client
“Our company had been operating without proper employment contracts for years. ClauseWise drafted a full suite of HR documentation in under two weeks. Professional, thorough, and very reasonably priced.”
