Commercial & Contract Law

In many ways, this is the backbone of any commercial law firm. The specialist issues of intellectual property and technology law are almost always framed in a contractual or transactional context. The areas of contract law, tort, the law of agency, competition, consumer law and the law applying to goods and services therefore constitute the most fundamental and important parts of the lawyer’s toolkit.

We advise on contracts for the sale and supply of goods and services, partnering agreements, licensing and franchising arrangements, standards terms and conditions, consultancy, agency agreements, outsourcing agreements, confidentiality and trade secrets, facilities management and many more. In most cases, we act for both suppliers and those commissioning services, so we are best placed to appreciate both points of view and achieve a smooth commercial outcome.
