Effective contracts are critical to implement commercial strategies
Almost every aspect of business involves commercial contracts - with your suppliers, your customers, and your business partners. Drafting and negotiating contracts can be complex and challenging, and a lot depends on getting it right.
Working alongside PwC’s tax and advisory specialists, we provide a unique, integrated style of legal advice for your commercial project – whether that be sourcing and procurement, new business ventures or alliances, or technology related services and licensing.
Our team of commercial contract experts will accompany you throughout the contract lifecycle, from the strategic structuring of transactions, drafting and negotiation, to amending contracts as part of an operational transformation, managing disputes and termination and exit strategies.
Digitalisation and the technology revolution are driving changes that expose businesses to increased legal risk, such as security, data and privacy concerns which stem from the use of cloud services or the adoption of new digital platforms. We advise on all aspects of IT contracts including outsourcing, cloud services, system implementation, software development and licensing arrangements.
