Commercial Contracts
We advise clients from a variety of sectors on a wide range of commercial contracts, including supply of goods and services, distribution, leasing, franchising, software development, licensing and standard terms of business.
In all cases, we aim to assist clients in managing their commercial risk through properly drafted and robust commercial agreements.
Whether we are preparing a practical agreement for a low-risk venture or engaged in negotiating and drafting a bespoke contract for a business-critical arrangement across jurisdictions, we take the time to listen to our clients to ensure our contracts reflect their unique commercial requirements and provide clarity to their business relationships.
