Commercial Law

Businesses today need to have commercial arrangements which ensure both the exploitation of commercial relationships and protection from their risks.

Arrangements with suppliers and customers which are effective and enforceable are the foundations of successful business. Setting these foundations for both fundamental relationships and smaller ones (which irrespective of the profit they generate can prove just as costly and take up as much management time), whilst maintaining control of cost, is a challenge. This is a challenge Harrison Clark’s solicitors can help your business overcome.

No matter which situation our clients are facing, from the first set of instructions, we take time to gain an overall understanding of their business in order to give informed advice on the commercial and legal issues they face. Whether just a short call for some immediate, hands-on advice is required or a new commercial arrangement needs to be documented and negotiated, Harrison Clark’s solicitors are happy to work with their clients to achieve their business goals.

Why Harrison Clark?

Whether supply and sale of goods and services, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, agency, distribution, franchising, outsourcing, cross-border transactions, share option schemes or logistics, Harrison Clark’s dedicated team of commercial solicitors has the legal expertise and knowledge to advise on a great variety of agreements.

  • Available – Harrison Clark appreciates how valuable time is for its clients and, because of that, members of the team will visit clients at their offices and make themselves available for meetings and conference calls whenever and wherever required.
