Negotiations, disagreements and disputes are an unfortunate part of business but if and when they occur, having in-house resource who know the business and pain points/red lines is beneficial. Deciding on how robustly/aggressively/passively/slowly to progress any dispute is a key piece of advice from an in-house counsel. There is no mis-alignment of incentives over legal costs and we always look to take a commercial view to get the best possible outcome.

We can provide relevant commercial negotiation. It is our specialty at Add.Law - we’re not here to debate finer legal points, just the best possible commercial outcome. We can produce contracts, templates, licensing agreements to suit your business and commercial agreements. We can review contracts - commercial arrangements naturally change and evolve over time and regular contract review is an important service that we provide. We can build structures, templates and pro-forma tools allowing faster sales cycles or improving payment terms as part of a contract process review. We can lead re-negotiation of existing, outdated contracts is often difficult but necessary as it is hard to move from pre-agreed positions.

Contracts are the essential building blocks of many companies – it is vitally important to ensure that a robust contract fully represents the agreed upon commercial arrangement and that it underpins and offers you the maximum agreed protections. Whether it is using a template from our extensive library, updating your current documents or adjusting from a generic document - the key is to fully understand the commericial situation and properly represent this is writing.

Employment is an area that interacts with the law and legal regulations very heavily and rightly so, it is important to ensure that your business and your people are protected to the greatest extent possible. All businesses need advice in this high-risk area and we are very experienced in navigating these potential pitfalls.

Company Documentation, Governance and Filings can easily be overlooked, especially for a busy leadership group in a fast-growing business.
