Commercial Contracts

Areas of Specialism

Contracts are the foundation of business. They are the deals struck every hour of every day in every corner of commercial life. When they run smoothly, their terms need be considered only in passing or even not at all.

Things are different if problems arise. Often the contract does not provide an obvious answer. Doubts can arise about whether there is a contract, or what its terms are, or what they mean. Parties may be unsure about the remedies available to them. Choosing the correct course of action, and doing so promptly, can be crucial in achieving a successful resolution.
