Commercial Contracts

Every transactional relationship has a contract at its heart. Drafting and agreeing complex terms requires legal expertise and an understanding of an organisation's commercial objectives and risk appetite. We bring together these professional skills, along with an understanding of your sector's regulatory and legal landscape to provide a commercially driven approach.

Whether you are looking at outsourcing business functions, putting terms and conditions into place, or you are involved in managing a supply chain, there is a need for robust commercial agreements to deliver desired outcomes and to manage risk.

Our team of contract experts are recognised for their technical and drafting skills and commercial acumen to ensure that commercial agreements achieve your commercial objectives, prevent disputes, and reduce legal risk to your business.

We work in collaboration with our Legal Operations colleagues to utilise legal technology, drive efficiency, and optimise use of legal resources. We support organisations by transforming legal service delivery to achieve more for less.

Our experience tells us that successful commercial agreements, particularly concerning outsourced services, depend on a complex balance between planning, accurate scoping, business analysis, day-to-day governance, flexibility, acceptable costs, and incentivisation. Navigating this dynamic with an expert commercial contract lawyer will ensure a practical and effective solution.

Supply of goods and services agreements (including terms and conditions of sale and purchase between organisations and businesses, and business to consumer)
