These contracts might range from terms and conditions of sale or purchase through to lengthy, detailed, master service agreements. However, in all cases they should be appropriate to the individual business transaction, the value it can generate and the risks that need to be managed.

All too often, these contracts contain hidden risks. It’s easy to miss something important, or to agree to terms which don’t quite reflect what you thought the deal was or which do things you don’t expect. But because the law usually assumes that your business knows what it’s signing up to, it won’t normally protect you from bad bargains. 

Well-structured and thought-through contracts don’t just give you peace of mind. They can give rise to significant business opportunities that allow you to open into new markets, develop new products or improve those that you already have. 

Our experience in dealing with commercial contracts enables us to:

• develop precedent documents to simplify the contract process and, if you wish, to maintain those precedents for the future;
• handle the legal aspects of commercial negotiations – be that full engagement throughout a project or ad hoc advice on specific points that may arise; and
• design and implement systems and processes to manage large volumes of contracts on your behalf.

Ultimately, we’re here to give you the peace of mind that your contracts do exactly what they’re supposed to do and don’t contain any unwelcome surprises.
