Commercial Contracts


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.

Axiom Advocates have the knowledge and experience to advise on all aspects of commercial contracts, including:

  • Opinions and consultations to guide decision-making
  • Advice on remedies, such as damages or court orders enforcing contracts, preventing their breach or rectifying their terms
  • Representation in, and advice on, all dispute resolution procedures, including litigation, arbitration, adjudication and mediation
  • Tactical guidance on how best to achieve your objectives
  • Reviewing contracts or standard terms during the drafting process: a well-drafted contract can, after all, save time and money in the long run.
