Drafting Terms and Conditions

Altion Law has an expert team of solicitors who specialise in advising, drafting and reviewing these business terms and conditions for business.

Most businesses understand the importance of commercial contracts but many make errors in using a standard template, or even copying a competitor’s.  It is important for terms of trading to be drafted to take account of the specific conditions in which you do business. Poorly drafted terms and conditions can delay recovering cash for your business.

Once a business has standardised these. We recommend that they are under regular review in order to ensure that they take account of legislative changes, or new case law as well as reflecting any changes in the business activities of the company. Failing to update or maintain these can lead to disputes and delays in being able to resolving these.Regulatory & Compliance Solicitors | Milton Keynes | Northampton
