Agree favourable terms and secure the business.
Poorly negotiated contracts can often cause severe financial impacts on projects. An issue may hinge on a poorly written liquidated damages clause or condition precedent that precludes otherwise valid claims. It may not always be simple to determine if a clause is acceptable, especially when competitive pressure is high.
Balancing Risk and Commercial Reality
If you don’t sign it, someone else will. Bulletproof contracts are not useful without business turnover. Our experienced consultants undertake objective contract reviews, identify high-risk clauses, and advise on the risks each clause poses and the amendments needed.
Blake Newport’s senior consultants support clients through challenging contract negotiations, providing the added value of an objective advisor who understands both legal risk and commercial reality.
