Agreements

Your business probably has a number of commercial agreements with suppliers, customers, agents and others which you probably don’t think about on a day to day basis. It is important to ensure the other party fulfils their obligations to you and that you maximise your relationship with them. It is also important that you understand the implications of the various terms of commercial agreements on your business. If something goes wrong, it is also crucial that you feel confident that the agreement you have in place provides you with the right protection.

Our specialist commercial solicitors provide a solutions-orientated commercial approach to commercial agreements and encourage clients to involve us at the early stages. We don’t just draft contracts, we can review and also help you negotiate them. We make it our business to know the commercial drivers of your business and what each party brings to the table and this enables us to advise on the best tactics to be employed.
