Talbots Law’s Corporate & Commercial solicitors provide clear, practical advice on commercial contracts for businesses across a wide range of sectors.

Well-drafted commercial contracts help provide certainty, protect your commercial position and reduce the risk of future disputes. Poorly drafted or misunderstood contracts can lead to confusion, operational issues and costly legal disagreements.

At Talbots Law, our Corporate & Commercial Team advises businesses on commercial contracts at every stage of the relationship. We draft commercial contracts from scratch, review contracts prepared by third parties and support clients through negotiations, ensuring agreements are clear, workable and aligned with commercial objectives.

Why is specialist legal advice important for commercial contracts?

Commercial contracts often contain complex legal terms that can create significant risk if misunderstood. Specialist legal advice helps ensure that your commercial contracts accurately reflect what has been agreed, clearly define responsibilities and allocate risk appropriately. Early advice can help prevent disputes and protect your business interests.

Can you advise on commercial contracts prepared by another party?

Yes. Our solicitors regularly advise on commercial contracts drafted by customers, suppliers and business partners. We explain the terms in plain English, identify potential risks and, where appropriate, suggest amendments to help protect your position before you sign.

Why choose Talbots’ Commercial Contracts Solicitors?

Talbots Law’s Corporate & Commercial Team has many years’ experience advising on commercial contracts across a wide range of industries. Our solicitors understand that commercial contracts underpin day-to-day business operations, which is why we focus on clarity, risk management and practical outcomes.

We are trusted by businesses because we provide commercially focused advice that is easy to understand. We take time to explain the implications of commercial contracts, identify potential pitfalls and help you decide on the most appropriate course of action based on the value of the contract, the level of risk involved and the urgency of the matter.

Whether drafting commercial contracts, reviewing existing terms or negotiating agreements on your behalf, our aim is to protect your interests and support your long-term commercial success.

Do commercial contracts have to be in writing?

No, commercial contracts do not always need to be in writing to be legally binding. However, where an agreement is not recorded in writing, it can be extremely difficult to prove what was agreed if a dispute arises. For this reason, we strongly recommend having written commercial contracts in place with key suppliers, customers and business partners.

What is the difference between express and implied terms in commercial contracts?

Express terms are those clearly stated within commercial contracts, either in writing or orally. Implied terms may still apply even if they are not written into the contract and can arise through custom, previous dealings, common law or statute. Understanding how implied terms operate is an important part of managing contractual risk.

What is the difference between a condition and a warranty in a commercial contract?

A condition is a fundamental term of a commercial contract. A breach may allow the innocent party to terminate the contract and seek additional remedies. A warranty is a less significant term, and a breach usually gives rise to a claim for damages only. Knowing the difference can be critical when enforcing contractual rights.

What types of commercial contracts can you advise on?

Our Corporate & Commercial solicitors advise on a wide range of commercial contracts, including service level agreements, framework agreements, distribution and agency agreements, manufacturing and supply contracts, tender documentation, marketing agreements and introducer arrangements.

How do you support negotiations on commercial contracts?

We tailor our support to your needs. This may include providing straightforward advice on commercial contracts, highlighting risks and marking up documents for you to negotiate directly, or negotiating terms with the other party or their solicitors on your behalf.
