Commercial Law – Contracts You Can Build On

Without proper contract law advice, you take on considerable risk when entering into a sale, lease, or service agreement with a business partner. Commercial law — also known as the law of contracts — governs the everyday life of business: from sales to leases to service agreements, everything your business needs to operate and maintain its business relationships.

Why Is Contract Law Advice Important?

Civil law regulation only sets out the most basic framework — the details, and the specific rights and obligations of the parties, are laid down in the contract itself. This means that a poorly drafted or incomplete contract can pose a serious risk. If a dispute arises, the very questions that matter most are likely to remain unanswered. A well-drafted contract not only provides legal protection but also clarifies the framework in advance, reducing the likelihood of future disagreements.

In What Matters Do I Provide Contract Law Advice?

I take on assignments across a wide range of contracts, including in particular:

• Sale and Service Agreements drafting and review
• Lease and Leasing Agreements drafting
• Agency and Brokerage Agreements preparation
• Loan and Credit Security Agreements legal framework
• General Terms and Conditions and Framework Agreements drafting
• Reviewing and amending existing contracts
• Providing legal support for negotiations with the other party

What Does Contract Review Involve?

Many people turn to a lawyer once a business partner has already sent over their own draft contract. In such cases, it is particularly important to have the contract reviewed by an independent professional — not only from a linguistic standpoint, but also to assess whether the terms truly serve your interests, and whether it contains any risky provisions that could later put you at a disadvantage.

What Happens If a Dispute Arises?

If a dispute arises despite the contractual relationship — for example, because the other party fails to perform or interprets the terms differently — I provide legal representation both in out-of-court negotiations and in court proceedings. The goal is always to reach a resolution as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

When Should You Seek Contract Law Advice?

Ideally before you sign the contract, not afterward! Preliminary contract law advice is always less expensive than resolving a dispute that arises later. If you have any questions, book a consultation!
