Commercial and Contracts

Forging bonds

Contractual relationships, whether with customers, suppliers or strategic partners, are fundamental to your business. In our experience, disputes are far more difficult and expensive to resolve if fundamental terms of contract cannot be identified with clarity and certainty. Experience also tells us that many clients are understandably too busy running their business to analyse the full implications of arrangements they enter into. That’s where we come in.

Led by an innovative partner who has spent over five years working for one of the most recognisable names in the FTSE 100, the Commercial team will work with you to identify the risks inherent in your business dealings and help you to reduce or even eliminate them—whether it’s assisting with management and negotiation of a specific project, or helping you with your general trading arrangements. We’ll also work with you to maximise your business opportunities by developing the right contracts for your business. Sharing the knowledge is important to us too, and that’s why we can also offer you training and support that’s relevant to how commercial law affects your business. We can offer advice on a wide range of contractual matters. Here are just a few of them:

• Contracts and conditions for the sale or purchase of goods or services
• Tendering, contract negotiation and project management
• Agency and distribution
• Collaboration and development agreements
• Outsourcing
• Franchising
• Confidentiality and secrecy agreements
• Consultancy arrangements
• Intellectual property agreements
• Manufacturing agreements
