Our Contracts practice combines legal knowledge with deep sector experience and a can-do approach covering the full spectrum of commercial and business law issues. 

Companies deal on a daily basis with a myriad of relationships and contracts that bind them to their suppliers, customers, buyer, seller, business partner, licensors, and distribution and other strategic partners. Our global Commercial Contracts practice helps structure these relationships and guide clients through the complexities to ensure their contracts provide the necessary framework for success.

We advise on a wide variety of contracts, including terms and conditions of the commercial contract; manufacturing agreements; agency, distribution and franchise arrangements; IP and content licences; collaboration and joint venture agreements; outsourcing; advertising and sponsorship agreements; consultancy agreements; e-commerce agreements and terms; hotel management agreements; confidentiality agreements; 

We regularly draw up standard terms for clients as well as bespoke agreements for more complex transactions and advise on the key aspects of such contracts, including warranties, indemnities, limitations of liability and liquidated damages.

We assist clients with purchasing arrangements in the context of the public procurement rules, including advising on and drafting framework agreements. In the context of B2C, we help our clients to achieve compliance with consumer rights regulations, including cancellation processes for online sales.
