Commercial Contracts

For business owners, preparing commercial contracts, terms and policies is often at the bottom of your priority list, but waiting until you have a spare moment may cost you in the long run. Experience shows that a properly recorded contract will save you significant cost and acrimony in the long run and can be the key to running a successful business.

At Birkett Long our commercial contract lawyers have the extensive expertise and experience to provide, draft, review and negotiate this for you.

Working closely with you over time means our solicitors understand your business fully, including how it operates and your aims and goals. Getting to know your business means that we can better identify your legal and commercial needs. A large part of any business is ensuring your contracts, documents and paperwork are all up to date.

Birkett Long’s clients include everything from small, owner managed businesses to large public companies in both the private and public sector. Among our clients are Care UK PLC and the University of Essex along with a number of the large high street banks and local heavyweight accountancy firms.

Birkett Long is renowned for its work within the healthcare, education and charitable sectors in particular.
