Business Contract Solicitors

Having the right commercial contracts for your business is a key element of ensuring your business works efficiently, smoothly, with good customer and supplier relationships and few, if any, disputes.

We ensure our clients have highly practical, proportionate business contracts. Nothing extra is included for the sake of it and nothing important is left out.

If you need a commercial contract lawyer to draft,  review a contract or advise on a contract, please do talk to us. We are always happy to discuss your queries and discuss fees.

Commercial contract lawyers

We work on the areas the exposure to risk is greatest.

• We step in to manage the process of review, negotiation or resolution of problems. You can tap in as and when required.
• Experience extends to a variety of commercial contracts including terms and conditions, supply of services and goods, agency and distribution agreements, technology/IP related and IT contracts and specialist agreements used in sectors such as the creative sector.
• Many of our clients have moved to us from larger firms for better value for money.

Contract review service

All too often we find that clients come to us, presented with a lengthy and detailed contract prepared by the other party’s lawyers which they are encouraged to accept as drafted. The devil and the risk will be in the detail and everything is negotiable. We step in and act as your double check, providing an efficient and cost effective contract review solution. We ensure that unfair and/or highly risky clauses are removed or watered down. You get the value of our experience generally and with contracts of the same type, industry or sector.

Key overview considerations when reviewing a contract generally include :-

• Who is to do what?;
• Where, how and when will the contract be performed?;
• Timescales;
• When will payment be made?;
• What happens if payment is late or not made?
• Events of default which give the right to terminate the agreement.
• Can you get out of the contract?
• Exclusions and/or caps on liability;
• How will disagreement  be dealt with to avoid court?

We find out what your bargaining position is and respond accordingly.  A good business contract takes into consideration future obligations and provides for the changing nature of business.
