Commercial Contracts

About

Provided by Bird & Bird

Bird & Bird’s International Commercial Group comprises a leading team of experts offering an integrated and unique commercial offering to clients. The group is one of the very few stand-alone commercial teams amongst the leading international firms, meaning we work independently for our clients as opposed to being a support function to the firm’s other practice groups.


Our team comprises over 200 lawyers across our 32 offices worldwide, making us one of the biggest global teams. Each of our jurisdictions is staffed with lawyers who are expert in the commercial law of their own country but with the collaborative attitude and the common vision that comes only from all being a shareholder in the same venture. Our clients benefit from the delivery of the highest calibre international commercial advice in fully cohesive multi-national teams who work together to achieve effective and elegant business solutions for them.


We focus on acting for clients being changed by technology or the digital world and are at the forefront of the legal market when it comes to advising on strategically significant agreements and transactions.
