Contracts

Doing business is taking risks. Therefore, it is important to minimise the risk of disputes, damages or breach of contract. To minimise all risks, a good contract is essential.

 

Als contractenrecht advocaat staan wij u bij, bij al uw vragen met betrekking tot (handels)contracten zoals handelsagentuur, handelshuur, distributiecontracten, franchisecontracten, samenwerkingscontracten, joint-venture en alle andere mogelijke (handels)contracten. Als advocaat overeenkomstenrecht adviseren wij u in de pre-contractuele fase over al uw mogelijkheden en staan u bij tijdens de onderhandeling telkens met maar één doel: het risico op aansprakelijkheid, schade of contractbreuk zo laag mogelijk houden.

Get in touch

Despite all precautions, you may still be faced with a dispute with your contract partner. Even in this case, we are ready to work with you to find a solution. We are not lawyers who immediately start proceedings. An amicable solution is our first goal. A great deal can often be achieved with good negotiation.

 

Soms is procederen onvermijdelijk. Wij hebben ruime kennis en ervaring in geschillen over contracten: de totstandkoming, de interpretatie, de uitvoering, of de niet-nakoming met schadevergoeding bij contractbreuk als gevolg. Deze kennis is steeds gecombineerd met een grondige kennis van de sector waarin het geschil zich afspeelt.

01
First understand, then act
We start with a consultation, either in the office or via Teams, to identify your specific needs and concerns. What is needed depends on the context of your business, and we make sure the contract is tailored exactly to that.
02
Drafting or reviewing the contract
Based on the consultation, we prepare a draft or revise the existing agreement. We post practical and understandable comments and suggest changes that are practical for your specific situation. We actively think along to ensure that the agreement is both legally correct and workable.
03
Finalisation of the agreement
After feedback, the contract is finalised into a document that fully meets the needs. The result is a tailor-made agreement that is clear and workable, with a focus on practical implementation.
04
Support in negotiations
We remain available for negotiations or adjustments to changes proposed by the other party, so we always ensure a good deal.

Frequently asked questions

Why standard documents are usually not the solution.

Standard contracts are everywhere, but often do not provide the certainty they seem to promise. Many of these documents contain generic clauses that can be harmful in certain situations or simply do not fit a company's specific needs. It is our job to thoroughly evaluate these documents, identify the clauses that are relevant or risky for the client and suggest adjustments that actually fit the client's situation. Only through this tailor-made approach can a contract actually provide protection and avoid legal risks.

How do I make my contract legally watertight and minimise risks to my business?

A watertight contract includes clear agreements on liability, payment terms and delivery. Also ensure confidentiality provisions , non-compete clauses and dispute resolution through the courts to properly direct legal proceedings. It is important to check that the contract complies with legislation in your sector and covers sector-specific risks. Engaging a specialised lawyer helps to protect your interests in the best possible way. After all, you are experts in your field, we in ours.
