Commercial contracts

We advise all kinds of businesses, working with our clients' commercial teams, in-house legal departments and individual directors and entrepreneurs. Clients come to us for our ability to get up to speed and pinpoint the real issues quickly.

Above all, a commercial contract needs to be clear. Parties to a contract need to know what they can expect from the relationship and what their obligations will be, both at the start and potentially for years to come.

As well as planning ahead, businesses need to ensure that they meet their legal obligations. Laws such as the GDPR, the Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Commercial Agents Regulations will continue to challenge businesses entering into contracts without proper advice. The commercial reality of running a business is rarely as straightforward as people imagine. But that is where we come in. Simplifying the complex array of evolving challenges. And developing the best strategies to help you meet your long term business objectives.

We negotiate, prepare, and advise on an extensive range of commercial contracts such as franchise agreements, supplier contracts, agency and distribution agreements, endorsement agreements, software contracts, agreements for production and distribution of content, and strategic alliances of all kinds. We often help acquire and exploit intellectual property rights through licences and other commercial agreements, across numerous industry sectors. Whether dealing with customers, suppliers, service providers or other third parties, we're here whenever you need us.

All this is delivered by a team who has a natural curiosity and are easy to deal with. People who make your life as hassle-free as possible and take the stress out of difficult situations.
