A contract is only ever tested on the worst day of the relationship. Everything before that is a formality, which is why so many agreements read well and fail badly.

What we are usually asked to do

We draft and negotiate the agreements that carry the revenue: supply, distribution, franchise, technology and services.

• Master services agreements and statements of work

• Supply, distribution and channel arrangements

• IP licensing, data and privacy terms

• Franchise documents and disclosure obligations

How we run it

We write in the language the business actually uses, and we keep a position paper so the same point is not renegotiated on every deal.

Where a clause exists only to be traded away we will mark it as such, rather than defending it for a fortnight.

What usually goes wrong

Standard terms drift. Two years of small concessions leave a business with a document nobody would sign today.

• Liability caps negotiated away deal by deal with no record of the pattern

• Termination rights that are drafted well and commercially unusable

• Data and privacy terms written before the product changed

How we are engaged

We build a position paper with your fallbacks agreed in advance, so the same clause is not renegotiated from first principles on every deal and your own team can close the straightforward ones without calling us.
