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.
