- marketing and promotional agreements
- distribution agreements
- non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements
- loan and security agreements
- employment and restraint agreements
- … and many more
No matter what type of commercial contract you need, our legal team has the necessary knowledge, skill and commercial experience to give you the very best possible solution to your commercial contract requirements.
Reviewing and Advising
Before you enter into a commercial contract, it is important to understand the agreed rights and obligations are for yourself, and the other party.
Disputes over contracts are common, particularly when a contract is not well drafted, is imprecise, or does not consider all aspects of what must be included in a robust agreement.
Reviews of contracts can head-off potential disputes, saving you time, money, and lost opportunities.
We can help:
- Review and advise on contracts
- Advise you on areas of potential risk
- Propose changes to contracts to better protect you, and to better reflect what is being agreed
Negotiating and Drafting
Pragmatic, efficient drafting of a commercial contract reduces risk, avoids potential disputes, and ultimately saves the parties time and money.
Additionally, an appropriate, well-drafted, easy-to-read plain English contract is often the difference between a deal going ahead, and the deal falling over.
So many agreements ultimately fall into disrepair because of a lack of legal knowledge, poor planning, and badly drafted documents. Get the best result with a properly drafted, bespoke legal contract.
We can help:
- Review the terms and conditions agreed between the parties
- Advise on the best forms of suitable choices
- Narrow and negotiate outstanding issues
- Prepare drafts for review
- Review drafts, make changes and finalise
- Oversee and ensure correct execution
