Commercial Contracts: Look for the right solution

At a glance

Getting complete, well-tailored and straightforward legal agreements in place can mean the difference between a successful relationship and a costly dispute. Also, choosing the correct business model and understanding the implications of legislation such as the Commercial Agents Regulations can have a very significant impact on commercial success.

We will work with you from the outset to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of different commercial models, draft and negotiate the key arrangements that support your business, and give you help and support in relation to more standard arrangements. Many years of experience in drafting in a huge variety of different sectors and circumstances mean that we have a wealth of solutions for even the most unusual commercial arrangements. We are also happy to reviewing other parties’ contracts for unfair or onerous terms.
