Whether you are looking at outsourcing, putting terms and conditions into place, or you are involved in managing a supply chain, strong commercial agreements must be in place as a prerequisite.

Our team of contract experts are recognised for their far-reaching skills in establishing complex commercial agreements designed to achieve your commercial objectives, prevent disputes, and reduce legal risk to your business.

We work in collaboration with our Legal Operations and Business Services colleagues to utilise legal technology, drive efficiency, and optimise use of legal resources. We support organisations by transforming legal service delivery to achieve more for less.

Our experience tells us that successful commercial agreements, particularly concerning outsourced services, depend on a complex balance between planning, accurate scoping, business analysis, day-to-day governance, flexibility, acceptable costs, and incentivisation. Navigating this dynamic with a commercial contract lawyer will ensure that a practical and effective solution is central to our service delivery.

Our commercial specialists have a wealth of experience working for major global organisations across a range of commercial contract matters, including advising on:

Supply of goods and services agreements (including terms and conditions for sale and purchase between organisations and businesses, to consumer terms and conditions)
Agency and distribution agreements
Franchising
Sponsorship agreements
Consultancy agreements
Outsourcing agreements (including IT outsourcing, contract manufacturing, warehousing and logistics)
