About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Our UK Commercial Contracts team regularly advises some of our most prominent clients, including members of the FTSE 100 and 250, Fortune 100 and 200, as well as both longstanding and newly acquired clients, on their most strategic, complex, high-value and high-profile commercial contracts, often on a global scale. We have dedicated commercial contracts partners and lawyers based in every UK region, a presence unmatched by any other law firm in the UK market. Our team has significant depth and continues to grow, with the promotion of home-grown partners and the imminent arrival of senior lateral hires. We advise on multi-billion-pound transactions across sectors such as media, aerospace, asset management, recruitment and supply chain. Our clients entrust us with highly sophisticated and strategic projects, and we are regularly called upon to advise Boards and senior stakeholders on commercial strategy well before contracts are taken to market.
