Contract law lawyer – Contract law

The firm supports its clients in all aspects of their contractual relationship.

When should you call on the services of a lawyer specialising in contract law?

Goldwin Law Firm can help you with :

• Drafting the various legal documents governing the contractual relationship, in particular the general terms and conditions of sale, the commercial lease and the transfer of business assets;
• Provide legal advice at every stage of your contractual relationship;
• Negotiate and draft pre-contractual documents and undertakings;
• Drawing up the various contractual documents organising your relationship, for example the contract itself, its annexes or riders;
• Anticipating the end of the contract;
• Preparing for any renewal.

Although there is a plethora of model contracts available, they are more often than not ill-suited to the real issues faced by the contracting parties. For this reason, legal advice from a lawyer can help you avoid loopholes and secure your contractual relationship.

Particular care must be taken when drafting the contract, to ensure that no cause for annulment remains.

Thanks to their expertise in a wide range of fields, including commercial law, new technology law, property law and industrial property law, the firm’s lawyers can adapt to your needs and draw up the necessary contractual documents.

What is a contract and what is its purpose?

A contract is a document that organises the relationship between its signatories and is subject to a dense legal regime with recurrent textual changes. The contract protects each of the parties by clearly establishing their rights and duties. But it can also govern the provision of services, distribution methods, deadlines and relations between an employee and his employer.

The relationships between the parties depend on the contractual framework that organises them. But whether the parties get on well depends on them and how well they apply the contract. As a result, unforeseen circumstances can arise in the performance of the contract and give rise to disagreement.

If such disagreements are not provided for in the contract, they must be resolved within a short timeframe, otherwise the contractual relationship will be irreparably affected. For companies, the aim is therefore to avoid a breakdown in commercial relations.

The firm’s mission is to monitor legal and legislative developments as closely as possible in order to anticipate any changes in legislation and their implications for its clients’ contracts. Our expertise ensures that any disagreements are resolved quickly.

In addition, our lawyers will work with you to establish an effective legal strategy in the event of disputes and commercial litigation, and will represent you before the relevant courts. Defects of consent, bad faith, non-performance and poor performance of contracts are all disputes that damage your business. This is why, if amicable approaches fail, the resolution or re-characterisation of these disputes requires the intervention of a judge.
