Commercial contracts

When you run a business, entering commercial arrangements is something you will do every day. There will be sales agreed with customers, deals done with suppliers, joint initiatives with trade partners and new facilities negotiated with lenders.

Document these arrangement is crucial and best done through a formal contract that sets out the agreed terms, addresses and legal requirements, allocates risk in the event of something goes wrong, provides a means of resolving disputes and, most importantly, ensures that the overall deal done works in your favour.

Employment

You will also be obliged to provide a safe working environment and to ensure that those you engage have the legal right to work in the country in which they are or will be stationed.

Failure to comply with any relevant rules or regulations could result in you being pursued for employee compensation and may also lead to you being fined and imprisonment for senior personnel.
