Provided by Fox Williams LLP
We help businesses in the UK and throughout the world achieve their commercial law objectives by advising them on their contracts. We provide legal advice in respect of the transactions and commercial relationships which are central to businesses’ trading activities and strategic plans.
We provide commercial answers to legal issues – determining the issues which affect our clients’ commercial operations, identifying the different courses open to our clients, and providing our recommendations as to the best way forward given the circumstances, timescale and resources available to our clients.
Accordingly, we draft, review and negotiate commercial contracts of all kinds as well as standard terms and conditions, and we help our clients to exit agreements which they wish to leave.
Our clients include UK and international multi-nationals, household names, small and medium sized businesses, and entrepreneurs as well as trade associations.
