Commercial agreements
We draft, review and negotiate the agreements governing a business's relationships with customers, suppliers and commercial partners.
A useful contract should reflect how the relationship will work in practice: what each party must deliver, how payment is calculated and what happens if circumstances change or obligations are not met. We help clients turn their commercial arrangements into clear terms, with an allocation of risk that reflects the deal.
Our advice covers both individual negotiations and standard terms used across a business. We focus on the provisions that can materially affect performance and exposure, including liability, intellectual property, exclusivity, renewal and termination.
Commercial agreements are also an important part of a transaction. We review the target company's contracts to identify matters such as change-of-control provisions, consent requirements and restrictions that may affect the acquisition or the business after closing. Where a business is being separated, we help document the services needed during the transition.
