Contract Law
Drafting, negotiating and reviewing contracts, and the legal remedies available when they are not honoured.
A contract is the instrument through which a business assumes risk and protects itself against it. A carefully drafted contract prevents disputes that would otherwise take years.
We assist companies throughout the entire life of a contractual relationship: analysing the commercial intention and translating it into clauses, negotiating with the counterparty, reviewing drafts submitted for signature, and dealing with performance and amendment. Where obligations are not met, we pursue the remedies provided by law — specific performance, termination for breach, price reduction, damages.
The general law of obligations is also the field in which the partners have published most extensively in the specialist journals.

How we work, in five steps.
Reviewing the documents
We examine the contracts, decisions, official records and correspondence. Any serious strategy starts from the documents.

We set out what can be done, what cannot, and where the weak points of the case lie. Prospects and risks are discussed in concrete terms.
The strategy
We agree together on the course to follow and record it in the legal assistance agreement.
