Commercial Contracts
We give advice to businesses at all stages of their development.
We assist our clients with the negotiating, drafting, implementation and interpretation of all forms of contracts and agreements, and assist with contract reviews to ensure that agreements are and remain up to date and pertinent to our clients’ business needs. We also advise on the exit from contractual commitments.
We advise in connection with all types of contracts in all sectors, including those governed by the Commercial Agents Regulations. Our advice often relates terms and conditions, and what to include and how to protect our clients’ business, as well as advice on trading terms proposed by our clients’ customers and trading partners.
We also regularly advise on:
- Service Level Agreements
- Joint Venture Agreements
- Finance
- Hire & Lease Purchase Agreements
- Product & Materials Liability
- Retention of title issues
and many other contractual documents.
We are experts in the law affecting franchises. We offer legal advice and guidance in franchising, covering aspects such as the territory of the franchise, royalty payments, business expansion, guarantees, intellectual property issue, termination, premises and transfers of business (and the effect of restrictive covenants).
Our litigation and dispute resolution team also deals with all types of claims arising out of commercial contracts, including interpretation and breach of such documents.
