Commercial contract

Sound commercial contracts provide structure and guidance and instil trust; they prevent disputes and create security in collaborations, deliveries, distribution or international trade. Our contract lawyers assist companies in the Netherlands and abroad in drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts that stand up to scrutiny before the court and in commerce.

“Commercial success calls for solid contracts that are clearly phrased, strategically structured and tailored to the commercial reality.”

Commercial contract & litigation lawyers

Our commercial contract specialists combine their legal expertise with an in-depth understanding of your industry and strategy. Our advice is not limited to the letter of your contract – we also advise on the commercial risks and opportunities it presents. Whether you need standard contracts or wish to conclude customised contracts with international parties, we provide clarity and protection and give you leeway to develop your business.

How we can help you

Robust commercial contracts are the foundations on which successful collaborations are built. As a full-service firm, we ensure that your contracts are both legally sound and in line with your business operations and commercial interests. Our lawyers actively provide input on the allocation of risks, liability, termination clauses and compliance.

 

As contracts often cover multiple areas of law, our commercial contract specialists work closely with colleagues in disciplines such as privacy law, M&A and company law to ensure that you are always provided with a solution that is right in every respect. We can help you with:

  • Collaboration agreements
  • Supply contracts
  • Procurement contracts and contracts of sale
  • Agency contracts
  • Intermediary agreements
  • Distribution agreements
  • Service agreements
  • Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
  • Franchise agreements
  • Consignment agreements
  • Dealer agreements
  • General terms and conditions (B2B and B2C)
  • Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
  • Letters of Intent (LOIs)
  • Contracts for services

Effective dispute resolution

In some cases, commercial conflicts and disputes are inevitable. Then you need a flexible partner with strong analytical skills who takes strategic action. Our lawyers who specialise in corporate law have extensive experience in complex commercial disputes and represent their clients in legal proceedings and arbitration where necessary. We assist companies in disputes with suppliers, clients and contractors about breach of contract, non-performance, liability, compensation and more, always bearing in mind the commercial relationship and the greater interest.

Ready for responsible business practices

Sustainable and responsible business practices have become a fundamental part of the current business world, with ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) considerations increasingly being embedded in the business operations of companies and – as a result – in the contractual relationships of these companies. We closely monitor developments in laws and regulations, helping companies to translate ESG principles into their commercial contracts and ensuring that their contracts are legally up to date while also being future-proof and in accordance with sustainability objectives.

Operating nationally and internationally

Receiving proper legal support in every country is key if you do business on an international scale, but finding reliable lawyers or civil-law notaries can be a complex and time-consuming task. Being a member of TAGLaw, Nysingh is able to act as your international legal partner as well. Where necessary, we introduce you to reputable law firms all over the world or act as your local legal partner.

Our approach: a focus on results and easy access

We combine in-depth legal knowledge with a pragmatic approach. Transparent information, short lines of communication and a clear view of your business interests are the very essence of our services. Whether you are seeking new collaborations, intend to terminate business relationships or wish to take a case to court, we are your legal partner. Setting great store by quality and up-to-date knowledge, we have joined the Dutch Franchise Association (DFA) to emphasise that we aim to keep abreast of new developments in this field of expertise.
