Commercial Contracts
We draft and advise on all manner of commercial contracts, so whether you’ve just started a business and need a set of standard contracts or you’re an established business that needs an experienced business lawyer to cast a fresh eye over your existing agreements, we’re here to help make the process as seamless as possible.
Our advice is not one-size-fits-all. We want to get to know your business as well as you do, what your priorities are and your attitude to risk. The better we know our clients, the more value we can provide. We’re here to steer you through the legal challenges that come your way, to support your growth and ambitions throughout your business lifecycle. Our success is driven by our clients’ success.
Our priority when drafting contracts is to protect your business, but our aim is also to provide clear and pragmatic contracts that our clients understand.

Contract negotiations
Need us to take the lead with customer negotiations? Our commercial lawyers are all skilled negotiators and here to help you close that deal. We want to help you win customers, not lose them, so our approach is collaborative, but we are firm when we need to be.
Contract negotiations can be delicate. Waterfront’s Commercial Contracts team are expert negotiators. We understand that dealing with large corporations and their teams of in-house lawyers can often be a daunting and intimidating experience, with many people succumbing to the “we don’t negotiate” stance often adopted by such organisations. However, the Waterfront team has extensive experience in acting for clients, in particular those selling products and services to much larger organisations. Waterfront has assisted in negotiations with:
International reach
Our assistance doesn’t just span the UK. We advise international clients where the laws of England and Wales apply and have a range of contacts with like-minded firms and advisers to help advise on the laws of other jurisdictions.
