Our team of expert lawyers can help you ensure your business’s contracts clearly reflect your intentions and protect the interests of your business.
Commercial contracts govern the way you operate your business. Every day, organisations are dealing with and managing relationships and executing agreements that bind them contractually to their suppliers, customers and other third parties.
We work with businesses to ensure that these relationships and contracts clearly reflect your intentions and safeguard – as far as is legally and commercially possible or viable – the interests of your business.
Whether in the context of e-commerce or the physical supply or goods or services, we can prepare or review terms and conditions tailored for your business – both to provide clarity in commercial arrangements and offer protection in the event of dispute.
We advise on a broad range of commercial contracts, including distribution, agency and reseller agreements, licensing, franchising and collaboration arrangements, media, sponsorship, endorsement and branding agreements, e-commerce terms and conditions and general contracts for the supply and purchase of goods and services.
Our lawyers advise on a broad range of commercial contracts, including distribution, agency and reseller agreements, licensing, franchising and collaboration arrangements, media, sponsorship, endorsement and branding agreements, e-commerce terms and conditions and general contracts for the supply and purchase of goods and services.
