The slowing of commercial contract negotiations can often signal their end. You need lawyers with expert negotiation skills, with an appreciation for efficiency. While speeding up negotiations isn’t always easy, with the right agreements in place, sales teams can quicken up the process. Whether that's core terms of business, or master services agreements (MSA), we equip sales teams with everything they need to advance the deal.

Getting a commercial contract wrong can be a disaster: not only can it cause reputational damage, but it’s time-consuming and distracting for your team. Not to mention how expensive contract dispute litigation can be…

It can be tempting to assume that template contracts will suffice, or indeed, a quick exchange of emails you made years ago. However, assumptions like these have cost sales teams thousands of pounds, and it’s a loss we ensure our clients don’t make.

Robust commercial contracts tailored to your industry and product can provide a solid return on investment, alongside in-depth protection. The crucial point is that your contracts need to be tailored to how your business operates, so they can protect your business interests.

When a counterparty pushes back on terms, it can be comforting to have some legal firepower in your corner.

We often see enterprise clients trying to force terms on our clients. It’s not easy, and it can take time to push high-value deals over the line. Sometimes a deal needs to be stripped back, a new contract agreed upon, or, time needs to be spent injecting terms into the new agreement.

To-ing and fro-ing, discussions, speculations and uncertainty… commercial contracts can quickly become a headache for businesses looking to reach an agreement. Our clients benefit from our legal expertise, robust negotiation skills and no-nonsense approach to protecting their best interests.

We don’t sit on the fence and just tell you "there are risks”… we help you decide which risks are worth taking and which just aren’t worth it.

Robust legal foundations are key for any business, but it’s crucial to revisit those foundations as a company begins to scale. As your business evolves, so too will your relationship with your clients, the services you deliver, and the ambitions you hold for the future.

With that in mind, initial agreements will slowly begin to lose potency as the years go by, which is why when a business evolves, so too should its contracts.
