Contract Law

Our drafting work covers supply and distribution agreements, service contracts, joint venture and shareholders' agreements, franchise arrangements, technology and software agreements, employment and consultancy contracts, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, and the standard terms and conditions used by businesses in their day-to-day dealings. We advise on the enforceability of specific clauses, on limitation of liability, liquidated damages, force majeure, and termination, and on the choice of governing law and dispute resolution mechanism.

On the disputes side we act in suits for breach of contract, specific performance, injunctions to restrain breach, and claims for damages and restitution. We advise on whether a contract has been validly terminated, on the consequences of repudiation, and on the rights of parties where performance has become impossible. These matters are taken before the civil courts, and where the contract provides for arbitration, before the arbitral tribunal.
