Commercial Contracts

We advise on all forms of commercial agreements. Our assistance includes advising on or drafting standard terms and conditions of business, preparation of contractual documentation, advising on contractual risk and regulatory compliance through to international collaborations and joint ventures. We are often involved in the early stages of negotiations in respect of the protection of confidential information, exclusivity and costs agreements.

As well as the putting in place of commercial agreements, we are consulted regularly in relation to the exercise and enforcement of rights under existing contracts. Our approach is to work within the parameters of an agreement to find flexible solutions and commercial outcomes.

Our expert Commercial Department can assist you with the following:

• standard terms of business
• bespoke supply/purchase contracts or project documentation
• manufacturing, distributorship and agency
• franchising
• research and development
• review of existing documentation and advising on the effect and practical options under such agreements
• joint ventures
