About

Provided by Slaughter and May

Regardless of where your business sits on the maturity curve (from innovative start-ups looking to disrupt the market, through to recognised global conglomerates with an established industry presence), your commercial arrangements are fundamental to the success of your business. 

When contracting these arrangements you will need to:

  • rapidly assess the commercial and legal risks and issues involved
  • focus on those risks and issues which represent the true ‘value drivers’ in your deal
  • clearly document the arrangement in a way which ensures your interests and commercial concerns are protected, while appropriately incentivising your counterparty to perform

Our market leading Commercial Contracts and Strategic Sourcing practices have extensive experience across all forms of contracts and commercial agreements.

We prioritise understanding how your commercial arrangement fits into your wider business strategy and the key risks and opportunities that this presents. Our attention to your specific needs means we provide you with focussed legal and strategic advice that goes to the value of your deal.

Our contractual solutions are tailored to the circumstances of your particular transaction and your organisation. We will embark on your new projects with no preconceptions as to the ‘right way’ to implement them but rather with a pragmatic, flexible approach which draws on our broad and varied contracting experience.
