Our commercial contract solicitors offer a full range of commercial law services designed to meet the unique needs of your business. Every business is different and will require tailored documentation to govern its trading relationships effectively.
Certain transactions, particularly low-value trading relationships, can often proceed on standard terms of business without detailed documentation. However, more complex transactions require carefully drafted commercial contracts tailored for specific purposes. For these situations, we recommend getting in touch with one of our expert commercial contract solicitors.
Our experienced team of commercial contract solicitors and commercial agency solicitors can assist in the following areas:
- Agency, distribution & franchise agreements: Our commercial contract solicitors can advise on agency and distribution and franchise agreements that will comply with competition law and the rules regulating agency agreements.
- Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA): We can advise on how to put an enforceable NDA in place that protects your business and we can help you decide the best options if a breach occurs.
- Joint ventures: We can advise on joint venture agreements and your alternative options, including collaboration agreements, partnership/LLP agreements, or special purpose vehicles (SPV companies).
- Outsourcing agreements: There are many advantages to outsourcing services, but it often demands complex arrangements that require careful drafting and negotiation. We can guide you through the process and make sure your service agreement is commercially sound.
- eCommerce: We can advise on the legalities of running and managing a website, from online terms and conditions to cookie and privacy policies.
- Intellectual property: We advise on all the legal issues surrounding the licensing of your intellectual property. Our services include drafting, reviewing, and negotiating licensing agreements to ensure your intellectual assets are protected while maximising their commercial potential. Whether you are looking to license your trademarks, copyrights, patents, or trade secrets, we help safeguard your rights and mitigate any risks.
