Commercial Contracts

Commercial contracts form the foundation of modern commerce, encompassing a wide range of contract types such as distribution agreements, agency agreements, development agreements, purchase and sale agreements, franchise agreements, and license agreements. Each contractual relationship requires tailored contractual regulation. With extensive experience in advising on all types of commercial contracts, we can guide you on how best to protect your company’s interests when entering into, complying with, and enforcing such agreements.

Strong legal capability, commercially oriented and ability to put themselves in our shoes.

A well-crafted contract ensures predictability of rights and obligations between parties and serves as an essential tool for risk management and value creation. Our team regularly assists both private and public companies, on both the customer and supplier sides, with advice throughout the contract lifecycle.

We support major and minor procurement processes where commercial contracts are established. Our assistance covers all stages of the procurement process, from strategic advice on delivery and agreement models to the design, negotiation, and review of commercial contracts. We emphasise that contracts should be clear, understandable, and practically feasible. To streamline and ensure the quality of our advice, we utilise a comprehensive set of templates.

After a commercial contract is signed, questions often arise regarding compliance and follow-up. We provide advice in ongoing contractual relationships, such as change management and remuneration follow-up. We also assist with contract interpretation and other legal assessments related to potential disagreements, including enforcement if the agreement is not complied with. Our focus is on finding solutions that safeguard the client’s overall interests.

Our team also possesses expertise in related areas of law, such as technology, intellectual property, and public procurement. If the nature of the case requires, we can assemble interdisciplinary teams with resources from other departments within Wiersholm to ensure our advice covers all aspects of the agreement in question.
