SOLICITORS FOR BUSINESS CONTRACTS & AGREEMENTS
Commercially-aware legal advice, for contracts that do justice to your business
Business contracts form the network that trade is based on. They are instrumental in protecting that all-important cash flow, safeguarding your intellectual property, managing your relationships with suppliers, agencies and referrers – the list goes on.
They are more than just a formality – they are an important way to protect your business’ interests and limit your liabilities, whether you’re a seedling start-up or an established multi-national. Our experienced team of commercial solicitors is used to helping businesses with a whole range of contractual issues, from drafting and negotiating complex agreements to providing ad-hoc advice on clauses in business contracts.
Experienced in helping businesses of all sizes with contractual issues and agreements

For your business’s individual needs and objectives
What makes a good (or bad) contract depends on the individual needs and objectives of the business – and that’s why they can’t be bought ‘off-the-shelf’. There is no ‘one size fits all’, as your business is unique.
A good business contracts solicitor will combine their experience with their understanding of your individual business. We’ll craft and review bespoke, watertight contracts that best protect your assets, minimise your liabilities and address problems. With these in place, you have a solid platform, knowing you have some legal recourse if the other party breaches that contract.
