Commercial Contracts

Our Commercial Contracts Team is one of the largest in the South West and has significant experience in dealing with our clients' contractual needs. We pride ourselves on taking a pragmatic and commercial approach to the issues faced, to make sure that these issues do not become barriers to achieving objectives, but will instead facilitate them.

Education providers often need to conclude commercial contracts, and we have experience of drafting, advising on, and negotiating a wide range of contracts including:

• The terms and conditions of parent contract / boarding terms and conditions;
• Catering and cleaning contracts;
• Sponsorship agreements;
• Events management contracts;
• Lettings contracts;
• Hire agreements;
• Supply and maintenance agreements;
• Website agreements; and
• Confidentiality/non disclosure agreements.

Our Team also has particular expertise in the field of e-safety and has presented at conferences for education professionals in relation to the legal risks in the virtual world.  We have experience of drafting and advising on e-safety and acceptable use policies, and work closely with our Education, IT and Data Protection colleagues where appropriate.
