Commercial service / COMMERCIAL TERMS
Contracts & agreements
A customer contract, supplier arrangement or new partnership should reflect the commercial agreement and make responsibilities clear. Barnard supports drafting, review and negotiation, with attention to payment, performance, liability and exit terms.
OPEN. UNFOLD. GET BACK TO BUSINESS.
Does this sound familiar?
The deal makes sense. Do the documents reflect it?
- You have been asked to sign a contract
- Existing agreements no longer reflect how you trade
- You are entering a new supply, service or business relationship

Before we speak
Useful information to have ready for the conversation.
- A draft agreement or the terms agreed so far
