Contractual accuracy and rigour underpin every aspect of business and we help our clients navigate all aspects of contract law.
We recognise that, wherever our clients are in their company lifecycle, their commercial contracts are fundamental to the health of their business. Advising on commercial contracts requires an understanding of our clients’ business drivers and commercial objectives, balanced against the risks involved, whilst ensuring any counterparty is appropriately incentivised to perform.
We support and advise our clients in their day-to-day operations, whether they are tackling individual projects, bespoke agreements for complex transactions, or standard terms of business.
We prioritise understanding how a commercial arrangement fits into our clients’ wider business strategies and the key risks and opportunities that this presents. Our attention to each client’s individual needs enables us to provide focused legal and strategic advice that speaks directly to the heart of the transaction.
Where necessary, our public sector experience enables us to help clients with purchasing arrangements in the context of the public procurement rules, including advising on and drafting framework agreements. In the context of B2C arrangements, we help our clients to achieve compliance with consumer rights regulations. More broadly, we are often asked to ensure that competition laws and regulatory rules are factored into any assessment of an agreement and make sure that all contracts are fully compliant.
Procurement
Our services include helping clients to define their requirements, evaluate potential solutions, and develop comprehensive procurement strategies aligned with their business objectives, as well as vendor selection, due diligence and contract negotiation. We also assist with renegotiations and extensions. In addition, our team regularly advises clients on public procurement transactions, as well procurement challenges and disputes.

Legal feedback and analyses have always been very pragmatic, straight to the point and fast. Especially in fast-paced transactions, time is king and therefore, we were particularly happy with their legal support.
The Fladgate team is a pleasure to instruct and work with - proactive, pragmatic and solutions oriented. Able to distil complex issues into comprehensible language and explain the risks clearly.
The team provided plenty of hands-on support in a complex series of arbitrations. The willingness to roll up their sleeves was impressive, as was the legal analysis and assembly of the evidence. It would have been easy for the detail to cloud what really mattered in the case, but proper analysis meant the focus was always on the points that were material to the dispute.
Personal service delivered with genuine interest.
