Five questions to ask before signing a commercial agreement

Composed counsel. Confident decisions.

Before a commercial contract is signed, make sure names, scope, deliverables, payment terms, liability limits and dispute procedures are written clearly. Verbal assumptions are difficult to rely on when circumstances change.

What to prepare

Discuss whether a review should focus on a particular clause, the whole agreement, or related documents. Keep a clean copy and a list of negotiations ready.

Questions worth asking

• Understand what is included in business contracts, which information is needed to get started, and what a realistic next step could be.
• Review obligations, identify exposure and structure sound commercial agreements.
• Clarify specific outcomes and requirements with an appropriately qualified legal counsel specialist.
