Business Contracts
Negotiation and review of commercial, financial and technology contracts between companies.
Business contracts must translate the transaction into verifiable obligations, pricing criteria and ways of addressing risk. Drafting must take into account the parties' roles, the flow of performance and dependencies on third parties. Technology, service and financial partnership contracts raise their own issues, even though they share confidentiality and liability clauses. In regulated sectors, contractual freedom coexists with requirements that cannot be set aside by private agreement.
Legal advice involves negotiating scope, service levels, warranties, limitations of liability and grounds for termination. It is important to provide for the continuity of operations, the return of data and the transition of suppliers when the contract ends. Attached documents and policies incorporated by reference must be consistent with the main instrument. The review also examines dispute resolution mechanisms and proof of performance, so that economic and operational obligations can be monitored throughout the relationship.

Is a limitation-of-liability clause valid in every situation?
No. Its validity and scope depend on the applicable law, the nature of the relationship and the circumstances. Regulatory obligations and mandatory rules may limit contractual freedom.
