Commercial Contracts
The team offers expert legal guidance to businesses of all sizes, from entrepreneurial start-ups to established, multi-national enterprises of household names.
We help our clients navigate the complexities of commercial arrangements and agreements, whether the transaction is in the UK or internationally. Appropriate and commercially-focused drafting and negotiation are crucial for managing risk in contracts to ensure compliance, safeguard interests and foster efficient operations.
We review, draft and advise on complex commercial deals, such as franchises, commercial agencies, licence, supply and distribution, etc. We provide pragmatic and practical solutions that reflect our clients’ specific business needs and goals. We draw on the expertise of our specialists to factor in issues such as IP protection, data protection compliance and dispute resolution, to provide comprehensive support throughout the contract lifecycle and to mitigate potential pitfalls to ensure long-term success and growth. In short, we distil through the jargon to enable our clients to focus on their business requirements.
