Business Contracts

ASK A QUESTION

Most of what your business does day to day runs through contracts, whether that’s your terms of business, a supply agreement, or the wording on your website. Getting them right at the outset saves a lot of difficulty if something goes wrong later.

We draft, review and negotiate the contracts that keep a business trading, including:

  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Terms of business
  • Supply of goods and services agreements
  • Service and consultancy agreements
  • Subcontractor agreements
  • Franchise agreements
  • Distribution agreements
  • Joint venture and collaboration agreements
  • Software and technology agreements, including SLAs
  • Ecommerce terms and conditions
  • Prize competition terms

Drafting and reviewing

Whether you need a new set of terms and conditions, an agreement with a new supplier, or a second opinion on a contract someone else has put in front of you, we make sure the wording says what you actually mean, and protects you if things don’t go to plan.

Negotiating

We can review and advise on contracts your customers or suppliers have proposed, helping you negotiate terms that work in your favour rather than accepting the other side’s wording as it stands.

A contract only protects you if it’s clear about what happens when something goes wrong, not just when everything goes right.

If a dispute arises from one of your contracts, our colleagues in Dispute Resolution for Business can help. And if you’re not sure whether an agreement properly covers your confidential information, it’s worth raising that with us when we review the contract itself.

If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
