Get Progress provides a commercial contract creation and review service.
Sadly, the days when a handshake was sufficient to agree a deal are well and truly past. Combine that with the fact that increasingly deals are concluded remotely and you must have good commercial contract.
Contracts are legal documents that provide you security and layout the agreed terms you and your client need to follow. Enter your lawyer… or so you would think!
We are not lawyers but have decades of experience reviewing, negotiating, updating agreements and resolving disputes that invariably arise. We will quickly build you a clear commercial contract that is ready for legal review or update your current agreement. Further to this we can even recommend a lawyer and manage the full legal review too.
Why not simply go to your lawyer straight away? The answer is simply cost effectiveness. Lawyers are in great demand and it is expensive to use their time building an agreement. Once they have a commercial contract template to work with their legal expertise can focus on the terms. Secondly, legal contracts can quickly become very long and complicated and become confusing for clients and your staff to customise for a specific deal. Your contract template is created in an easy to use format and importantly from a commercial perspective.
Client Contract Reviews
Another area where our service can help is reviewing a client contract. Contracts often contain words and clauses that are very difficult to understand, we will translate these to make sure you are comfortable with your commitments. Ultimately we use our experience to highlight the main risks and suggest areas for negotiation prior to signing. This can be crucial in protecting your position.
Contract Disputes
Finally you might be unfortunate and need help resolving a contract dispute. We quickly provide assessments of the situation giving you a balanced overview based on contract terms and potential actions. In addition we can act as an independent mediator to try and negotiate a commercial solution that is acceptable to both parties without resorting to formal legal proceedings.
Are your agreements up to date or do you need a new agreement? Get our cost effective commercial contract guidance.
