FAQs

Commonly asked questions on Commercial Contracts.

1. What is a commercial contract?

A commercial contract is a legally binding agreement covering a relationship between two business parties. They denote precisely what both parties are able/unable to do for the contract to remain intact. Commercial contracts can be verbal, written or even implied formally or informally.

While verbal agreements may be quicker to agree on, if anything goes wrong further down the line, it can be challenging to prove that such an agreement existed in the first place.

Commercial contracts will typically cover services provided by one business to another, the sale of goods between companies, or even the quality of goods or services. More complex agreements would cover areas such as joint ventures or outsourcing of work.

2. What types of commercial contracts are there?

There are a vast range of commercial contracts that our solicitors will draft and review, but some of the most common ones include:

  • Bespoke commercial agreements
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Contracts of goods and services
  • Copyright and intellectual property
  • Distribution and agency agreements
  • Joint venture agreements
  • Partnership agreements and dissolutions
  • Franchise agreements
  • Supply contracts
  • Trading documentation, including standard terms and conditions for sale or purchase
  • Website terms and conditions

    If you are unsure of the type of commercial contract you need, we can help. Just give us a call on 0203 007 5500, and a member of our team will gladly help.

    3. What are the key stages of drafting or reviewing a commercial contract?

    The key stages involved in drafting a commercial contract include:

    1. Initial consultation to understand the details of the agreement you want
    2. Outlining any specific clauses that you would like added
    3. Drafting the terms and conditions of the agreement
    4. Making any adjustments to the agreement to cover risks
    5. Sending the contract to the other parties and responding on your behalf
    6. If needed, negotiating the contract with other parties
    7. Finalising the contract, ready to be signed

    Depending on your matter, a typical review of a commercial agreement will involve:

    1. Initial consultation to understand the details of what you seek from the agreement
    2. Outlining any potential implications for the company from the current agreement
    3. Negotiating any undesirable terms and conditions in the agreement on your behalf
    4. Making any adjustments to the agreement to cover potential risks

    If you need a commercial contract draft or reviewed by a solicitor, we can help. Just give us a call on 0203 007 5500.

    4. How long does it take to draft a commercial contract?

    Each commercial contract is different, as is the time it takes to draft or review them. For example, a straightforward sale arrangement for a small shop won’t entail as much work as a joint venture between two separate companies.

    We offer complimentary 30-minute consultations, allowing you to advise of exactly how much detail you want the commercial agreement to go into, ensuring the first draft is as correct as can be.

    5. How much will it cost to draft or review a commercial contract?

    The cost of a draft or review depends on the complexity of your business, the length of the document, and the revisions required.

    Once you have outlined your needs with our solicitors, we can provide a fee estimate.
