Contract law

This specialism concerns legally binding agreements between parties, in respect of their obligations under contracts that are subject to sole or multiple jurisdictions. It comprises the creation, modification, enforcement and termination of contractual relationships and typically includes such aspects as: pre-contract advice and consultancy; drafting, reviewing and revising terms, conditions and other provisions; negotiation and auditing.

For a contract to be legally binding, it not only needs to be agreed upon by both parties but also has to be drafted in accordance with all applicable laws. When more than one jurisdiction or area of law is involved, the more complex a contract should be, making expert legal advice crucial to ensuring it will be enforceable.
