Legal advice on commercial contracts

We begin by understanding what your business is set to achieve, and the framework your industry operates within. Our lawyers are familiar with the industry-specific contract standards and statutory requirements that apply, and several of them have been seconded to clients. This gives us a clear understanding of how negotiations actually unfold, and which considerations must be weighed against one another along the way.

We assist throughout the entire life cycle of a contract – from drafting and negotiation, through follow-up and questions of interpretation, to handling breach and dispute.

Contract negotiations

Our lawyers have extensive experience advising companies in contract negotiations: identifying the needs of different decision-makers, building internal consensus, and conveying this to the other party in a way that gets results.

When difficulties arise during the life of a contract, we assist with questions of interpretation and with negotiations. Sometimes the parties are simply too far apart to reach agreement. In these situations, we have broad experience in dispute resolution, from mediation to arbitration and ordinary court proceedings.

Through our memberships in the international lawyers’ networks Meritas Law Firms Worldwide and Andersen Global, as well as the global accounting network Crowe Global, we assist clients across national borders, with local expertise in the markets a contract concerns.
