Contractual Drafting & Disputes

Contractual Drafting & Disputes

When individuals and SME’s conduct business, they usually enter into contracts. Contracts and commercial agreements are meant to provide a clear framework to govern a commercial transaction or relationship including the distribution of rights, risks and obligations – whether that is with your customers and suppliers; partners; co-shareholders; or your funders.

Contract Drafting

When advising on the drafting on a contract, regardless of the sector or the scenario, it is important that the terms and conditions reflect your desired objectives, whilst mitigating the risk of disputes. The current economic climate demands that your contract provides you with confidence to enter into private and business transactions that protect and benefit you. Our barristers are available to provide personal and small business legal advice on the drafting and negotiation of contracts.

Contractual Disputes

Regardless of the existence of a written agreement contractual disputes can arise when there is a disagreement on the terms agreed between parties; or if one party is not performing their obligations under the contract. It is therefore crucial that parties to a contractual dispute seek the right tactical advice to curtail the consequential losses.

It is also imperative that contractual disputes are dealt with as soon as reasonably practicable, as they can be costly and time-consuming, resulting in adjudication; arbitration; or litigation and damage a company’s business relationships and reputation.
