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.

Marika Whiteman took over our case, and she was quick, professional, and extremely efficient. Thanks to Marika, the purchase was completed within just two weeks. I only wish she had handled the case from the beginning. I would highly recommend Marika Whiteman as a commercial solicitor.

As a family, we have used Rothera Bray on legal matters on several occasions and most recently working with Talita on drafting Wills. She was professional, responded in a timely manner, communicated clearly and took on board any questions we had; we felt well supported throughout the process. Thank you Talita.

I recently used Rothera Bray, as I usually do for all my affairs, to draft my Last Will in Testament, and I was extremely impressed with the service I received throughout the entire process. The team, especially Julie Graham, were professional, approachable, and incredibly patient in answering all of my questions and putting me at ease. Julie took the time to explain everything clearly, which made what I anticipated to be a stressful process, feel straightforward and reassuring. I particularly appreciated her attention to detail and the care shown in making sure my wishes were fully understood and accurately reflected. Communication was swift and excellent from start to finish, and I always felt I was in safe and capable hands. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support for Will writing and estate planning. Thanks as Always.
