Terms of Business and Contracts
The importance of terms of business are often underrated by clients. Often they are seen as simply “standard” documents but every business is different. They also serve a multitude of functions, some conflicting. The primary purpose of terms of business are to protect you but they may also need to comply with various ebusiness and consumer protection laws and should not so one-sided so as to put off your customers. Therefore, preparing terms of business is not always as straightforward as you might think. We take time to understand your business before preparing your terms of business to ensure that they are tailored to your needs.
During the course of running your business, you’ll enter into a number of contracts such as content licences, sponsorship and advertising agreements, joint ventures or alliances and purchases of assets both minor and major. Not all of these contracts will warrant the involvement of a lawyer but we are able to assist whatever the nature of the agreement.
We are also happy to be flexible as to our involvement so that you are able to manage your legal costs. In some cases you may want support in relation to a single aspect or, alternatively, you may want us fully involved; drafting the contract; negotiating with the other party (or their lawyers) and finalising the contract for signature. We will work on what ever basis best suits your needs and requirements.
