As your business grows, no doubt so does the number of commercial contracts you need to work with. Whether they are for suppliers, customers or your employees, a well-drafted agreement should contain contract terms and conditions that:

    • protect your business from contract disputes;

    • spell out clearly defined rights and obligations of each party; and

    • the consequences if issues arise.

So, it is beneficial to have an experienced contract lawyer who understands your business and your legal requirements on your side. They can draft a legally binding agreement and review third-party contracts to ensure they meet your business needs.

At LegalVision, our contract lawyers have helped thousands of businesses prepare and review a wide range of contracts, including business partnership agreements, commercial agreements, confidentiality agreements, contractor agreements, development agreements, distribution and supply agreements, employment contracts, franchise agreements, licence agreements, loan agreements, sale of business agreements, service and consultancy agreements, shareholders agreements, software-as-a-service (SaaS) agreements, and training contracts.

LegalVision’s expert commercial contract lawyers have your best interests in mind.

How LegalVision Can Help

Experienced Commercial Contract Lawyers

Commercial contracts shape how your business earns revenue, manages suppliers, allocates responsibility and deals with problems when performance falls short. As your business grows, the volume and value of those agreements usually increase, while more teams begin negotiating terms on the business’s behalf.

A new market, major customer win or change in supply arrangements can expose weaknesses in contracts that were suitable at an earlier stage. Issues such as unclear service levels, broad indemnities, weak termination rights or inconsistent liability positions can become commercially significant once the contract supports an important revenue stream or operational dependency.

Taking advice before key terms are agreed gives you more scope to negotiate a workable position. Our commercial contract lawyers consider the commercial relationship, negotiating leverage and practical consequences of each clause, rather than reviewing terms in isolation. This allows your business to enter contracts that support the deal you intend to make and remain workable if circumstances change.

Examples of when businesses come to us:

  • a major customer has sent its standard terms and the liability position needs testing before the commercial team signs
  • a supplier relationship is breaking down and the business needs to assess performance obligations, termination rights and the cost of switching
  • different teams are using inconsistent contract templates and management wants a clearer position before expanding into a new market

Our expertise

  • Contract drafting: We draft customer, supplier, distribution, manufacturing, licensing and service agreements, including master service agreements, so the contract reflects how the relationship will operate in practice.
  • Contract review and negotiation: We review and negotiate contracts proposed by customers, suppliers and commercial partners, focusing on liability, indemnities, warranties, termination, payment and other terms that affect your negotiating position.
  • Confidentiality and information sharing: We draft and review confidentiality agreements and non-disclosure agreements where your business is sharing sensitive commercial information during negotiations, projects, procurement or strategic discussions.
  • Contract portfolios and standard terms: We review suites of commercial contracts, standard terms and contracting processes where growth has created inconsistent positions across teams, customers or suppliers.
  • Contract performance and exit: We advise on breaches, disputed obligations, termination rights, renewals and contract exits so you can assess your commercial options before taking action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a contract lawyer do?

A contract lawyer drafts and negotiates commercial agreements, and advises on performance or breach issues as relationships develop. LegalVision’s commercial contract solicitors can help with customer, supplier, service and strategic agreements, including liability and termination positions.

What commercial contracts can LegalVision help with?

Our solicitors can help with customer and supplier agreements, terms and conditions of business, master services agreements, distribution and agency agreements, licences and NDAs. They can also build templates your team can reuse on routine deals.

Can a solicitor negotiate a contract on our behalf?

Yes. A commercial solicitor can negotiate with the other party or their solicitors, or support your team with a marked-up draft and a list of the points worth pushing on. Negotiations usually centre on liability caps, indemnities, payment, service levels and termination.

Can LegalVision help with all of our business contracts?

Our solicitors can work across a full suite of standard terms, customer contracts, supplier agreements and master services agreements, and point out inconsistent positions. They can also advise where standard terms work and where different contract types need distinct terms.

What happens when LegalVision drafts or negotiates a commercial contract?

Contract work usually starts with the commercial objective, the contract structure and the points that matter most. Our solicitors can then draft or negotiate the agreement, explain material issues and suggest changes as negotiations develop.
