Commercial contracts
Advice on all aspects of commercial contracts including
IT and e-commerce.
By definition, commercial contracts represent
a combination of commercial and legal factors. For businesses and
organisations, the key requirement is to ensure that the legal
arrangements allow the full commercial benefits to be realised.
Weightmans’ lawyers have extensive technical
experience and expertise at all levels in this field. We offer a
full range of services, including advising upon, drafting and
negotiating commercial contracts and agreements relating to goods
and services.
We have particular expertise in relation to
outsourcing and logistics, intellectual property, distribution and
agency franchises, advertising and marketing, sports management and
terms of trading. We also provide expert guidance in specialist
areas such as telecommunications, computer software, IT
and
e-commerce.
As clients, we understand the commercial
imperatives that drive your business and see our relationship with
you as a mutually beneficial partnership. In contract negotiations,
we aim to ensure a swift and satisfactory conclusion that will
ensure long-term success for your business. Our service is
results-driven and based on adding value while delivering genuine
value for money.
We act for a wide variety of clients, ranging
from sole traders, partnerships and companies to local authorities,
PCTs, police authorities and other public bodies. We have advised
on contracts with global technology companies such as Microsoft,
Intel, Compaq, Sony, Packard Bell, Hewlett Packard and ICL,
together with blue chip companies in many other
sectors.
We are regularly involved in transactions and
funding with multi-million dollar values and international
agreements with foreign jurisdiction issues in North America,
Europe, Australia, Asia and Japan.
