Business has to move fast to adjust to change: cyclical economic conditions; pressure to outsource or ‘offshore’; increased regulatory and compliance burdens; and a growing need to leverage and enforce the IP represented by a company’s brands are just some of the issues. And the contracting process has never been harder – tough terms are demanded and no quarter is given. Add to this an explosion in cross-border trade and it becomes clear why businesses need to think globally but act locally – and do it fast.

Osborne Clarke’s commercial group provides leading-edge and cost-effective business solutions to clients, ranging from start-up to multinationals, and covering the entire spectrum of commercial activity. Whatever issues you face as a business – with suppliers, customers or partners – we can help. We provide sound, strategic advice to help get your contracts into shape, to improve your processes to address compliance issues and make informed risk assessments across all areas of your business.

Our team combines technical skill with commercial flair, to provide pragmatic and effective strategies that help ensure your company functions with manageable levels of risk. Our in-depth knowledge of key industry sectors means we can tailor commercial solutions specifically to your business.

Our international commercial lawyers work closely together to spot trends globally and advise clients on a transnational basis. But whilst much of our work crosses borders and jurisdictions, our clients can also rely on receiving expert local advice.

Acting as an extension of your in-house team, we draft and negotiate contracts, advise on supply agreements and terms and conditions of business, review existing arrangements and recommend steps to limit exposure. We also develop contracts to support new types of business, such as collaboration agreements, partnering strategies or joint ventures. Larger transactions can be project managed at a local, national or international level.

But don’t just take our word for it. Our approach has resulted in us developing long-term relationships with a number of clients, many of whom are household-name companies.
