Commercial Contracts

Commercial contracts form the backbone of every business, offering protection, clarity, and structure to ensure smooth operations and mitigate risks. Unfortunately, many overlook the critical importance of these agreements. Poorly drafted or non-existent contracts can have severe consequences for your organisation.

Why comprehensive contracts matter

Significant commercial relationships need to be governed by transparent, comprehensive terms. These contracts should:

• be tailored to suit practical needs;
• clearly define the rights and obligations of each party; and
• be regularly reviewed to ensure they continue to meet all parties’ requirements.

At Laceys, we take the time to understand your business and the context of your contracts. This ensures our advice is thorough, practical, and commercially viable.  We ensure that you not only understand the terms of your contracts but also grasp their wider implications. We guide you on your rights and options throughout your contractual relationships, whether it’s changing suppliers or cancelling contracts.

No matter your business stage, we can help draft, review, and negotiate your contracts to help ensure that they comply with applicable laws, protect your interests and to help avoid disputes and litigation.
