Commercial Agreements and Contracts
Commercial contract lawyers and solicitors
Having the right commercial contracts and agreements in place is vital to the success of any commercially focused business.
Navigating the terms of contracts can often be complex and confusing. Our specialist commercial contract solicitors can help you write or review detailed agreements to protect you.

We advise businesses of all sizes and sectors on drawing up contracts, and provide straightforward legal advice.
No two commercial contracts are the same. Understanding your business is a vital step in identifying whether it protects your business and your interests.
Your personal commercial solicitor will take the time to find out about your business and objectives. This will then help inform them of any contract recommendations.
Therefore, whether you are a start-up looking to put a contract in place for the first time or a long established business that needs to review its current agreements and terms and conditions, our contract law solicitors can advise you on putting an agreement in place to manage and minimise risks to your business.

Writing new contracts
Whilst it is possible to write your own contracts, without a thorough understanding of commercial law, you can open your business up to legal risks.
A commercial lawyer will be able to draft a contract that can protect your business legally.
Before drawing up any contracts, your personal contract lawyer will take the time to learn about your business and its objectives. This allows them to build contracts that are unique to your business and its operations.
Reviewing existing contracts
If you have existing contracts in place you may want them reviewing. This could be because of changes in your business or in legislation.
Failure to review your existing contracts regularly could result in your business being unprotected. For instance, in terms of litigation, loss of revenue and reputational damage.
Your commercial solicitor will be able to review each line of your existing contracts. From this, they can inform you of any potential changes that need to be implemented.

Selling houses is always a daunting prospect, but my life was made much easier by the professionalism and efficiency of Laura Runcak and Lisa Rainbow. They communicated promptly at every step of the process, and I would definitely recommend their services. In fact, I will be using them again in the near future, as I have another house to sell. Both ladies are a credit to Rothera Bray. Many thanks from me and my Mum.

We have recently used Sarrina and her team to carry out the conveyancing for the sale of a property. They have all been exceedingly helpful and made the whole process as straightforward as possible. Nothing has been too much trouble and they have dealt with any issue very quickly. Highly recommended!

We as an organisation have used Rothera Bray on numerous other occasions when we have sold houses in our portfolio. Both Sarrina and Julekha are very easy to work with and have an abundance of knowledge in the legal conveyancing framework. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I cannot thank Seetal and Rothera Bray Solicitors enough for all the hard work and support they have given me over the last 4 years with my accident at work claim. They have been extremely thorough, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Every step was clearly explained to me, and I always felt like they genuinely cared about getting the best outcome possible. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me a lot of confidence during a very difficult time. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.

I used Rebecca's services via Rothera Bray Solicitors to deal with the financial side to a divorce. I had an initial face to face appointment to talk through everything with Rebecca and this made me feel at ease and felt that Rebecca was the right person to help me. Rebecca has kept me highly informed at all stages throughout and has also given lots of great advice and has helped me a lot with getting things sorted. I am really happy with the service that I received and Rebecca was so friendly, kind, understanding and very helpful. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is requiring the help during a divorce.

We recently wished to effect a Declaration of Trust and changes to our tax positions with HMRC. It turned out to be relatively straightforward. However, in large part this was probably due to Ed Granger who dealt with the matter for us. He was highly attentive, full and clear in his explanations and checked our inputs thoroughly at every stage. Highly diligent, very pleasant and quick to respond. Thank you Ed.

Excellent service and advice from Lauren Kilbride at Rothera Bray Solicitors. Her advice was comprehensive, timely and professionally given. It made my decision making easy and the advice was delivered in language easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in seeking her services again should I require them.

Since 2017 Carol Freeman and her assistant Gail Garner have dealt with the selling and buying of a number of properties for me for personal and bereavement reasons. They have been excellent and I can’t praise them enough. Thoroughly professional, reassuring and patient. I have complete trust in them.
