Properly negotiated, well-drafted commercial contracts both protect and enhance a business.  They affect its everyday operation and therefore we ensure that contracts are not just technically accurate but work in the real world.  We take time to get to know your business, commercial priorities and timescales to enable us to provide prompt, practical and clear advice.  To many of our clients we are an extension of their team rather than an arms-length technical advisor.

Our experienced and dedicated commercial lawyers draft, review, interpret and negotiate a wide-range of commercial contracts, including:

  • Terms and conditions of sale/purchase;
  • Long term supply agreements;
  • Agency and distribution agreements;
  • Franchise agreements;
  • Joint ventures and other forms of business collaboration;
  • Tenders and public procurement;
  • Outsourcing;
  • Leasing and hire purchase.

We provide a comprehensive service by drawing upon the specialist commercial knowledge of many of our lawyers in areas such as intellectual property, e-commerce, competition law and other issues arising on international trading such as Incoterms, import and export requirements and the conflict of laws.
