Introduction to Commercial Law

Commercial Law is a vast area relating to all sorts of business transactions, contracts and finance, Our Commercial Law Solicitors can help your business by advising on a range of contracts or in drafting such contracts to protect your business.

Example Commercial Law Contracts:

  • Terms and Conditions.
  • Service and Sub-Contract Agreements.
  • Agency and Distribution Agreements.
  • Joint Venture and Collaboration Agreements.
  • Franchise Agreements.
  • Confidentiality Agreements.
  • Investment Agreements.
  • Factoring Agreements.

Having the right terms and conditions/contract in place is important from the outset. By doing so, you provide certainty, limit your exposure and risks, protect your Intellectual Property (IP), have a mechanism to resolve disputes and clarify the obligations between the parties, reflecting the agreement that you have reached.

Business transactions cannot be conducted on a handshake, an understanding or simply goodwill.   Our Commercial Law Solicitors can guide you through the right type of contract to use and make sure it is fit for purpose and reflects your needs.

The team also have experience in dealing with contracts for raising finance and security. We can advise on personal guarantees, debentures and other forms of security such as share charges. Additionally, we can help you to achieve your goal when raising finance to support or expand your business.

I turned to Vincent’s with a challenging situation that needed very careful handling. Michael and Drew were respectful, understanding and supportive. This made them easy to liaise with and I always felt they had my back. Good at listening to what I wanted, we worked together in finding the best way to draw the matter to a close. This eased my stress and worry. I now highly recommend their services to anyone who needs legal advice and help. Thank you both.
