Built for your business.

Commercial contracts sit at the heart of how businesses operate. Whether you’re entering new relationships or negotiating change with existing partners, we help you put clear, effective agreements in place that support your commercial objectives.

We advise on a wide range of commercial contracts, including agreements for the supply of goods and/or services, hire agreements, manufacturing agreements, outsourcing arrangements, consultancy agreements, distribution and agency agreements, collaboration agreements and long‑term strategic partnerships. Our focus is always on how the contract will work in practice, allocating risk sensibly, protecting your position and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

We take the time to understand your business and how it operates, delivering contracts that are robust, enforceable and commercially aligned with wider organisational goals.

Well‑drafted terms and conditions provide certainty and protection. We help businesses create B2B and B2C terms that clearly set expectations, manage risk and reduce the likelihood of dispute.

We draft, review and update terms and conditions for use online, at point of sale and for incorporation into purchase orders. Our advice covers key areas such as pricing, payment terms, liability, termination rights and risk allocation, ensuring your terms are enforceable and compliant with current law.

Terms and conditions should work quietly in the background, protecting your business when issues arise. We make sure yours are clear, up to date and fit for purpose.

IT systems and software are critical to the operations of most businesses and are constantly evolving.

Whether you are an IT supplier or a business receiving IT products and services, we can support you with contracts for software development, hosting, and support and maintenance. We also advise on software licensing, whether the solution is on-premise or cloud-based.

We also provide support with contract and subscription renewals, ensuring continuity of service where this is desired and seamless change when solutions are being revised.

Intellectual property is often one of a business’s most valuable assets. We help you identify, protect and manage your IP so value is secured and commercial opportunities are not lost.

We advise on the ownership, protection and exploitation of trademarks, copyright, designs and confidential information. Whether IP is being created, licensed, shared or transferred, we ensure the legal position is clear and properly documented.

From safeguarding core assets to supporting commercialisation and growth, we provide practical advice that protects your IP now and into the future. Because in a world driven by innovation, securing your digital assets is non-negotiable.

Collaboration is key in the creative sector, and getting the basis of that collaboration right from the outset is just as important.

We support clients in the music, gaming and film industries with their partnership arrangements, allowing growth and success for all involved.

From publishing agreements to recording contracts, merchandising licences to releases, and from brand ambassador contacts to production agreements, we ensure commercial objectives are achieved and intellectual property rights are protected.

Data protection is a business‑critical issue that requires a practical, proportionate approach. We help organisations manage personal data responsibly while remaining compliant with data protection laws and regulatory expectations.

We advise on data protection policies, privacy notices, data processing agreements, data sharing arrangements and international data transfers. We also support businesses in managing risk, responding to data incidents and embedding good data practices into everyday operations.

Our advice is clear and pragmatic, focused on enabling your business to operate confidently, without unnecessary disruption or over‑engineering.

Where businesses are supplying goods and/or services to consumers, they need to be aware of special protections that they need to offer to those customers.

We provide advice on the steps that businesses need to take to be compliant with consumer law, including the pre-contract information they must provide, statutory rights, terms which are implied into consumer contracts and transparency requirements.

We also provide support on associated policies relating to cancellations, returns and guarantees, ensuring your customers can buy from you with confidence.

We support public sector organisations through all stages of procurement, from planning to award, as well as management of public sector contracts, helping deliver compliant, defensible and commercially effective outcomes. We advise on procurement documentation, frameworks, establishing contract terms and modifications to public contracts, ensuring processes are robust and aligned with legislative requirements.

We advise bidders and suppliers to the public sector on understanding the procurement process, their rights where legislative requirements have not been complied with and the impact of the terms of public contracts.

Procurement should deliver value, not delay. We help you manage complexity and maintain control throughout the process. Where challenges arise, we help resolve issues efficiently and pragmatically, keeping projects moving.

Franchising offers a powerful route to growth, but success depends on strong legal foundations. We advise franchisors and franchisees on creating and operating franchise arrangements that are clear, compliant and commercially effective.

For franchisors, we draft franchise agreements and supporting documentation, focusing on brand protection, consistency, control and risk management. For franchisees, we advise on whether proposed franchising terms represent market norms or unexpected risk.

With the right structure in place, franchising can support sustainable, long‑term growth. We help you build a framework that works in practice, not just on paper.
