Commercial contracts and advice

Business-as-Usual Contract Support 

Every business runs on contracts, but managing them shouldn’t slow you down. We can support you with day-to-day agreements such as supply contracts, service terms and standard terms and conditions  for sale and purchase of goods and services. Whether you need a quick review, help with drafting, or someone to handle the negotiations, we make sure your contracts are clear, fair and fit for purpose.

Procurement and Supply Chain Contracts 

Your suppliers and service providers play a big part in how your business runs and so your contracts need to work hard too. We advise on supplier and customer terms, framework agreements and service level agreements (SLAs) across all sectors. For example, hiring equipment to buying goods or services, we help you agree terms that protect your business.

Consumer and E-commerce

Selling to consumers, especially online, comes with specific rules and risks. We help businesses stay compliant and protect themselves when selling goods or services through websites, online marketplaces or direct-to-consumer platforms. There’s more to it than you might think – from website compliance to refund policies, we’ll support you to stay on the right side of this complex legal landscape.

Agency, Distribution and Reseller Agreements 

Getting your products or services to market, whether in the UK or internationally, requires the right structure. We help you set up clear, practical agreements with agents, distributors and resellers, so everyone knows where they stand. From routes to market to commission structures and legal protections, we make sure your agreements support growth and reduce risk.

Manufacturing and Logistics Contracts 

Your supply chain depends on reliable agreements. We help businesses of all sizes put the right contracts in place for manufacturing, storage, and logistics. If you’re producing goods, outsourcing fulfilment, or managing delivery partners, we ensure your contracts are clear, fair, and protect your commercial position.

Franchise Agreements 

Franchising can be an effective way to grow, but it needs careful planning. A good franchise model is built on more than just ambition. It needs solid legal foundations. We support both franchisors and franchisees with clear, practical agreements that cover what matters most. From how the brand is used to what happens if things change, we help you set up for long-term success.

Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances

When businesses collaborate, strong agreements are absolutely essential. We help structure joint ventures and strategic partnerships with clear heads of terms, practical contracts and straightforward legal advice. Big or small, short or long-term, the team will help shape agreements that protect your interests from the outset.

Risk Allocation and Liability Advice 

Business comes with risks — the key is knowing how to manage them. We work with you to negotiate sensible contract terms around liability, warranties and indemnities. Our approach is straightforward: we protect your interests, help reduce uncertainty, and keep the contract focused on what really matters.

Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) 

When you’re sharing sensitive and confidential information, you need to know it stays private and is only used for the permitted purpose. We draft and advise on NDAs that give you the reassurance you need for conversations, partnerships or early-stage deals. Simple, clear and designed to protect your ideas and commercial advantage.

Bespoke and Strategic Commercial Projects 

Some commercial arrangements demand more than an off-the-shelf solution. When dealing with complex, high-value or international projects, it’s essential to have agreements that are carefully structured to reflect your commercial priorities and manage risk. We support businesses with tailored advice on strategic transactions, from multi-party agreements and long-term supply contracts to outsourcing arrangements and exclusivity deals.

Alongside transaction support, we provide broader commercial law advice to help you stay compliant and maintain good governance. We can review your existing agreements, audit your processes and support effective contract management — giving you greater visibility, reducing risk and ensuring your contracts align with your wider business objectives.
