Helping charities with commercial contracts
Our experienced commercial contracts solicitors provide the best possible advice on creating business contracts with suppliers, customers or collaborators.
Charities enter into contracts all the time, and increasingly can find themselves doing so for their core work. Ensuring that your contracts are water tight is imperative for protecting your charity from being exposed to contractual risks, such as disputes, contract negotiations, data protection breaches and regulatory compliance. At Anthony Collins Solicitors, we work in partnership with our clients to ensure that all commercial contracts are clear and unambiguous. We draw on our extensive cross-sector and legal knowledge to ensure that all commercial contracts are fit for purpose, compliant with the law and help safeguard against commercial risks.
When negotiating contracts, we work in partnership with you from the outset to provide strategic planning and guidance on relevant rules and regulations. All your contracts need to take account of the legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the “deal” of an organisation. We work with you to make sure that whatever you are asked to sign, you know what the implications are, even if there is little or no scope for negotiation.
While commercial contracts are put in place to safeguard your organisation, if your organisation is facing a commercial dispute we can work with you to provide clear and practical advice and support through every step of the dispute, from identifying whether there is a case to dispute resolution through mediation or court proceedings.
