Commercial contracts
 

Contracts are the lifeblood of the business world. As a result contract law is enormously important. The business that does not control and understand the commitments it enters into gives massive advantages to its suppliers, customers and competitors.

Sills & Betteridge are able to help you in many ways. We can:-
  • Prepare commercial agreements ranging from a set of terms of trading to the establishment of a franchise network.
  • Advise on and modify the terms proposed by others to protect your position.
  • Negotiate terms with other parties, their lawyers and in-house contracts departments
  • If things go wrong advise on the tactics to avoid or minimise liability or to force the other party to perform its bargain
  • Where necessary bring or defend contractual litigation - further information.
  • Advise on the European dimension
