• Lawspeed was the first service provider to provide agencies with contracts designed for contractors to operate outside IR35. These templates have been provided since July 1999, well in advance of the implementation of IR35.
• Contract clauses drafted by us were crucial in the only successful IR35 case to date to be won by a contractor against the Inland Revenue (Lime IT).
• We have handled and won all our clients completed appeals against adverse Inland Revenue decisions relating to status under IR35.
• Our contract templates and terms of business reflect realistic commercial terms to protect against business and tax risk
• Our unique contractor support scheme for agencies ensures that not only do contractors get the right contracts issued to them by participating agencies but that contractors get the right advice in advance of the contract being created. Some participating agencies can be found here.
• We have published numerous articles relating to the requirement for work to be project based, and complex legal issues such as Mutuality of Obligation, to help contractors to avoid being mislead.
• We have held seminars around the country for contractors, interim managers and their accountants, to explain the requirements to avoid IR35
• We have successfully negotiated contract terms for our clients with many agencies, from the largest through to the smallest.

Lawspeed continues to provide ever developing services and contracts for the joint purpose of providing commercial protection at the same time as providing significant IR35 benefits for those operating through limited companies.
We hope this track record speaks volumes, and we look forward to helping you.
