Contract Law
We draft, review and negotiate contracts that secure commercial relationships.
A contract sets the legal framework of a commercial relationship. Being legally valid, however, does not make a document workable or protective of your interests.
That is why we read contracts not just as text, but through the parties' expectations, the allocation of risk and the disputes they might one day produce.
What we do in this area
Drafting
Clear, workable contracts suited to the nature of the commercial relationship.
Review and revision
We review existing contracts from the client's perspective and recommend the necessary changes.
Negotiation support
We assess the parties' positions from a legal standpoint through the negotiation.
Contract management
Where several contracts run alongside each other, we help maintain consistency and follow-up.
Points we take into account
- 01
Limitation of liability, termination and dispute resolution clauses are the most frequently overlooked parts of a contract.
- 02
Ambiguous wording leads to differing interpretations and avoidable disputes.
- 03
A contract that does not reflect commercial reality loses much of its workability.
Common questions in this area
A pre-signature review clarifies the parties' obligations and the allocation of risk, and allows clauses that are difficult to renegotiate later to be corrected early.
It can, but it is sensible to review the text from the client's commercial perspective and propose the necessary changes.
