Business contracts
Practice area
Business contracts
Contracts the business can sign on time, with the risk weighed by lawyers who have negotiated on the company's side.
How we work
Two ways of working
Tailored
Strategic contracts
When the contract sets the margin of the business for years and every clause has to be negotiated.
- Long-term supply
- Distribution and sales representation
- Licensing and technology
- Joint ventures and partnerships
- Bilingual contracts, Portuguese and English
High volume
Routine contracts
When the contract queue holds up sales and purchasing and the in-house team cannot keep up with the volume.
- Non-disclosure agreements
- Supplier contracts
- Standard terms and conditions
- Amendments and renewals
