Commercial Contracts

When you’re considering selling your business, you need to plan ahead.

In business, certainty is everything. Legal expertise should complement your strategy and be commercially-sound.

Drawing up a commercial contract is a straightforward process, but also one of those things that can get forgotten in the commercial cut and thrust. Here’s how investing a little time and effort into a commercial contract now can prevent far bigger problems developing later down the line.

Our team provides specialist legal knowledge across a range of sectors, ensuring that our clients manage their risk appropriately. We blend the technical and commercial skills needed to deal with all aspects of your contracts, ensuring that the unique demands of your business are met and that you have peace of mind in your commercial relationships.

In what situations is a commercial contract needed?

The simple rule of thumb is that wherever a commercial relationship exists, you need a commercial contract in place to support it. This establishes the terms of the relationship by setting out the scope of the work, the rights and obligations of those involved, and what’s expected of both parties.
