Service contracts

 

Many of our clients want to set out in writing the parameters of their relationship with other businesses whilst allowing those relationships to develop, for example by individual call off contracts for goods or services. A master goods/services agreement is a useful way to do this. 

With our experience in these types of agreements, coupled with our in-house expertise, we can help you put in place an agreement that allows your business relationships to grow within a structured environment.
