Practice area

Transactions & Contracts

Drafting, negotiating and structuring the commercial agreements that carry a business's day-to-day risk.

Commercial risk is usually created — or avoided — at the drafting stage. We structure, draft and negotiate the agreements that govern transactions, so that commercial intent survives contact with the counterparty and, where it comes to it, with a court.

Our transactional practice works alongside the corporate advisory and financing teams, which means documentation reflects the regulatory position and the security structure rather than sitting apart from them.
