The key point with contracts is that any contract your business enters into should reflect your intended deal. You need to understand exactly what it is you are signing and what its legal and commercial effect will be. Many contract disputes are simply a result of their having been no contract which accurately reflected the deal struck.
Some clients will want us to draft or review a whole contract and others will approach us for advice on specific aspects or clauses. We will give you as much or as little help as you wish.
Most of our commercial contract work is done on a fixed fee basis with hourly rates only being used for handling negotiations.
