We advise large businesses and SMEs on commercial contracts and terms and conditions. It is crucial to the success of any business to ensure that these documents are drafted correctly and protect your best interests and commercial reputation. Likewise, before you enter into a commercial agreement, it is best practice to have the document checked by a Commercial Law Solicitor. They can advise you on any long term consequences that may not be immediately apparent on first reading.
We have a team of smart, talented, highly experienced Commercial Law Solicitors who can advise you on all aspects of contract law and drafting terms and conditions.
We are relentless in our pursuit when it comes to achieving results. As businesspeople ourselves, we are alive to opportunities as well as threats and will collaborate with you long term as your trusted advisor.
What is a commercial contract?
A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties that outlines the rights and obligations of each party involved. Contracts are a fundamental part of business interactions, as they provide a framework for organisations to enter into diverse types of agreements with other businesses and individuals.
Contracts can take various forms and can cover a wide range of agreements, including employment contracts, supplier agreements, lease agreements, sales contracts, service agreements, and more. They can be oral or written, but written contracts are always best in a commercial situation because they provide unmistakable evidence of the parties' intentions and reduce the likelihood of disputes.
What are terms and conditions?
Business terms and conditions, often referred to as ‘Ts & C’s’ are a set of legally binding rules and guidelines that govern the relationship between a business and its customers, clients, or users. Terms and conditions outline the terms under which a business offers its products or services and the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved.
It is essential for businesses to draft clear, transparent, and legally compliant terms and conditions to build trust with their customers and minimise the potential for disputes or legal issues.
How First Law Solicitors can help
Consultation and Assessment
We offer comprehensive consultations to ascertain your specific needs. We do not provide ‘off the shelf’ solutions, instead we work to understand your business and provide bespoke contracts and/or Ts & Cs that will protect your commercial interests.
Document drafting
Our Commercial Law Solicitors will draft robust terms and conditions as well as watertight commercial contracts.
Contract review
We will review all your commercial contracts to ensure they are compliant with relevant laws and regulations, for example the UK GDPR. Our Solicitors will give you sensible, practical advice on the short, medium, and long term consequences of your agreements and advise you on what points should be negotiated to protect your best interests.
Advising on breach of contract
If the other party breaches the contract, we can provide advice and representation regarding how to protect your best interests and respond to the breach. In most cases, matters can be resolved through negotiation and/or mediation; however, if court action is required, we will prepare your case meticulously and instruct the best Barrister/Kings Counsel to represent you.
