Commercial Agreements

Hello, I am Paul Berwin, Head of Commercial Law at Berwins.  We recognise that businesses have a need for a substantial range of Commercial Agreements, and that these can be the underpinnings of their businesses.  By being “No Ordinary Lawyers” to our clients, we can help make them extraordinary businesses.
 
What is important to us is not just to produce a document, but to understand our clients businesses, and deliver agreements which meet their needs, not written in legalese, but specific and focused.
 
We are able to help clients with:-
 
  • Manufacturing and Supply Agreements, where we advise a number of businesses including print suppliers, food, manufacturing, importing and sanitary ware companies
  • Franchise Agreements, where we act for one of the UK’s most highly recognised franchise companies in advising on their agreements, on acquisitions, disposals and assignments
  • Outsourcing, where we have advised on overseas manufacturing sourcing
  • Joint venture, whether formal or informal arrangements
  • Shareholders Agreements, both where the shareholders are related, and where there are external investors with very different requirements
  • Partnerships and Limited Liability Partnerships, recognising the very different needs of each business
  • Business Terms and Conditions, where we help companies overcome the temptation to borrow someone else’s conditions within appropriate terms
  • Consultancy Agreements, where we are particularly focused on ensuring that there is certainty, and that ownership rights are clearly defined
  • Confidentiality Agreements, where one size does not automatically fit every case – but there is a temptation to believe that it does
