Commercial Solicitors

Clear terms and conditions reduce risk, prevent disputes and set expectations between you and your customers. We draft bespoke terms for goods, services, consultancy, B2B sales, B2C sales, and website/platform use. Our focus is on creating documents that are practical, enforceable and aligned with how your business actually operates.

E-commerce businesses face specific legal requirements relating to consumer rights, data protection, distance selling, returns, delivery and payment terms. We prepare compliant website terms, privacy documentation, online trading policies and customer agreements that help protect your business and build trust with customers.

Technology underpins many modern business models. We advise on platform terms, IT delivery, digital services, hosting arrangements and systems integration contracts. Our commercial solicitors ensure technology arrangements are clear, fair and future-proofed.

Supplier relationships can have a major impact on business continuity, quality and cost. We negotiate agreements that cover pricing, performance, termination rights, liability, service levels and confidentiality. From small supplier contracts to large-scale outsourcing arrangements, we help protect your commercial interests.

Reseller and introducer agreements need careful structuring around commissions, exclusivity, territory, performance obligations and termination rights. We draft and negotiate agreements that give clarity to both parties and minimise the risk of future disagreement.

Our commercial lawyers advise on technical agreements including:

• Software development
• Software licensing
• SaaS agreements
• Managed services
• Support and maintenance contracts
• API usage and integration terms

Our goal is to ensure clarity around deliverables, timelines, IP ownership, payment, liability and ongoing support.

Marketing partnerships require careful agreement around deliverables, usage rights, brand guidelines, disclosure obligations, content ownership and payment terms. We draft agreements for agencies, brands, influencers and creatives to ensure campaigns run smoothly and reputational risk is managed.

Whether you are expanding the reach of your products or licensing valuable IP, we help structure agency, distribution, franchising and licensing arrangements that protect your rights and support sustainable growth.

Joint ventures can unlock major opportunities but require careful planning around ownership, contributions, IP, control, liability and exit terms. We draft and negotiate JV agreements and partnership arrangements that support long-term commercial success.

Cross-border trade introduces regulatory, contractual and logistical complexities. We advise on international sales contracts, Incoterms, risk allocation, customs considerations and supply chain documentation to help businesses trade confidently and compliantly.

Securing your IP rights early is essential to protecting the value of your brand, products and technology. We support SMEs with UK and international trade mark registrations, copyright protection, domain issues and design filings, helping you safeguard what makes your business unique. Our team handles the process end-to-end, keeping it efficient, predictable and aligned with your commercial goals.

Your IP strategy should evolve as your business scales. We advise on how best to structure, protect and commercialise your intellectual property assets — from brand development and ownership reviews to preparing for investment or expansion. Our guidance is practical and forward-thinking, helping you use your IP as a competitive advantage rather than just a compliance exercise.

As SMEs grow, so does the complexity of their IP. We carry out clear, practical IP audits to identify gaps, risks and opportunities across your portfolio, ensuring your rights are properly recorded, protected and commercially leveraged. Whether you’re preparing for a funding round or simply tightening internal processes, we make sure your IP foundations are strong.

Turning IP into revenue requires the right structure and documentation. We advise on licensing arrangements, assignments, collaborations and commercial partnerships that allow you to share, monetise or expand your IP safely. Our focus is always on clarity, protection and creating agreements that support long-term growth.
