Commercial Contracts

Creating commercial contracts to optimise business opportunities and mitigate risk

Commercial contracts are fundamental to unlocking commercial opportunities, establishing clear expectations, minimising risk and limiting the potential for disputes.  

We understand the importance of adapting contracts to specific industries, our clients’ current requirements and an evolving business and regulatory landscape. From liability clauses and managing payment terms to performance standards, our team understands all the essential aspects of effective commercial contracts and risk management.  

We build long-term partnerships with clients to maintain a strong understanding of their business, their industry and best practices in the market. With a range of advisory and transactional experts, we can help you structure, develop, deliver, manage, review, revise and maintain contractual relationships to optimise business operations and minimise risk.  

By combining comprehensive legal and technical knowledge with deep industry expertise, we can support you in achieving your commercial objectives through enforceable flexible and creative contracts, allowing you to take opportunities and address the most complex scenarios and market challenges.  

We advise a range of businesses, including some of the largest global corporations, across sectors such as construction, consumer products, energy, financial services and insurance, industrials, logistics, materials, mining, oil and gas, real estate, retail, shipping, technology, transport and utilities.
