Contracts provide the legal framework for any agreed commercial activity between two or more parties.

They should be clearly drafted, reflect reality and strike a reasonable balance between the commercial interests of the parties. Businesses usually need standard conditions of business which define and limit the liability of the business, and provide a safety net if things go wrong.

Joint Venture Agreements are used to regulate the contributions, rights and obligations of the parties engaging in a joint commercial enterprise with others, where that enterprise is not incorporated. Typical examples of other contracts we draft include:

• Agency and distribution agreements
• Management agreements
• Consultancy contracts
• Success fee agreements
• Building contracts
• Framework agreements
• Licensing agreements
• Joint Venture Agreements
