Before you sign
What to Check in a Business Contract
Most commercial disputes start with a contract that was unclear, one-sided or never properly read. A few minutes checking the key terms before you sign can save months of argument later.
Key terms to check:
- Who the parties are, and exactly what’s being provided
- Price, payment terms and what happens if payment is late
- Limits on liability, and any indemnities you’re giving
- How long the contract lasts, automatic renewal and notice to end it
- Who owns the intellectual property and any work created
- Confidentiality and how personal data will be handled
- How disputes will be resolved, and which law applies
Signing standard terms? The other side’s standard terms often favour them. It’s usually easier to negotiate changes before you sign than to challenge them afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do commercial legal services cover?
Commercial legal services cover the legal side of running a business, including contracts, terms and conditions, business agreements, disputes, intellectual property and company structure.
Do I need a lawyer to draft a business contract?
There’s no legal requirement to use a lawyer, but a professionally drafted or reviewed contract is far less likely to be unclear or one-sided, which is where most commercial disputes start.
Does my business need its own terms and conditions?
It’s strongly recommended. Clear terms set out what you provide, how and when you get paid, and limits on your liability. If you sell to consumers, your terms must also comply with consumer law.
What’s the difference between an NDA and a confidentiality clause?
An NDA is a standalone agreement, usually signed before you share sensitive information. A confidentiality clause sits inside a wider contract, such as a supplier or employment contract.
Can you help with a dispute with a supplier or customer?
Yes. We provide advice and representation in resolving disputes related to contracts, payments, partnerships, and supplier issues. Getting advice early often resolves a dispute before it reaches court.
