Commercial Contracts

Contracts govern legal relationships and take many forms. Whatever business you are in, you will encounter many different relationships; for example, agreements with your customers, suppliers, employees etc are all governed by the same laws of contract.

We can assist you with the negotiation and preparation of all types of contract to ensure that they are legally binding and that your rights are protected as far as possible.

We take a positive and pro-active approach to contract negotiation and preparation. Contrary to popular belief, spending time negotiating and properly drafting a contract does not have to indicate distrust between the parties. In our experience, the negotiation process can actually help improve relationships as it ensures all issues are considered and possible areas of confusion or misunderstanding can be eliminated.

We regularly advise on:

• Agency agreements
• Distribution agreements
• Franchise agreements
• Standard Terms and Conditions of Business
• Consultancy agreements
• Joint venture and shareholders agreements
