compliant contracts

The commercial requirements of a business may not coincide with what is permitted, so when negotiating and preparing commercial contracts it is necessary to be aware of the wide range of legislation which can affect them.  These include:

• regulations which outlaw unfair terms in contracts between businesses and consumers
• laws restricting how far a party can exclude or restrict its liability for the other party’s loss
• laws prohibiting anti-competitive agreements
• requirements for contracts with agents
• regulations affecting employment agencies
• requirements for contracts involving credit arrangements
• rules on data protection and freedom of information
• e-commerce and distance selling rules
