Commercial Contracts

If you are a business, then entering or exiting commercial arrangements is one of the most vital elements of keeping your business going.

Formalising that arrangement is an important step in not only cementing your business relationship going forward but also encouraging continuity and understanding between all parties, as a properly drafted commercial contract reduces the chance of misunderstandings and lets everyone know where they stand.

Our Corporate Commercial team are experts in commercial and business contracts and provide the best possible advice on contracts with customers, suppliers and other third parties. We ensure that the contracts we draft are clear, compliant with regulation and law, fit for purpose and most importantly protect you from as much commercial risk as poss ible.

The most common commercial contracts we draft, negotiate and advise on are;

• Terms and conditions for goods and or services– between business to business or business to consumer
• Agency agreements– from the perspective of both the Principal or Agent
• IT agreement– for the licencing or development of software, provision of IT services or procurement
• E-commerce– online terms and conditions with rules in relation to distance selling (phone or online) and doorstep selling.
• Joint Venture agreements– outlining the relationship and responsibilities between two or more parties collaborating on a project.
• Data Processing agreements– defining and outlining the responsibilities of a data controller when contracting with a data processor

We provide advice across all sectors and businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our holistic service ensures that we use our legal expertise to not only negotiate and draft commercial agreements but also provide advice on risk and the best way to manage that risk.

If you are in a situation where you are having issues in respect of commercial agreements or are in dispute, we also have a specialist dispute solicitor who can provide commercial advice on the best way to negotiate that situation.
