Commercial law and ongoing counsel

Ongoing legal support for companies on commercial contracts, corporate housekeeping and day-to-day operational questions. A continuing relationship allows advice to build on knowledge of the client’s contractual and corporate framework.

Focus

  • Supplier and customer agreements
  • Framework, services and technology agreements
  • Terms and conditions
  • Corporate housekeeping and board decisions
  • Liability, contractual penalties and limitation of liability
  • Negotiation, amendment and termination of contracts
  • Employment questions concerning directors and senior managers
  • Dispute prevention

Approach

Contract documentation is drafted around the client’s business model: how performance, liability and risk are to be allocated between the parties.

Each contractual risk comes with a recommendation to accept it, negotiate it or reject it.

Larger contract portfolios are compared systematically, with the aim of identifying material differences between versions and between contracts.

Contact

For an initial assessment, a brief description of the situation by email or phone is enough.
