Berry Smith is one of the few law firms in Wales with a dedicated commercial contracts team. We offer a wealth of experience on a wide range of commercial matters in a variety of different sectors.

Contractual relationships are critical to all business activities, however it is important to ensure that you contract on robust and favourable terms which limit and where possible, exclude your potential risks and liabilities.

I would therefore invite you to forward to me your terms and conditions for a free, no obligation review. Please send a copy to ddowen@berrysmith.com and I will respond to you with my thoughts as to how they may be improved. If your terms and conditions are adequate for your business needs, I will advise you accordingly.

If you do not have a set of terms and conditions in place for your business then I would be more than happy to discuss the importance of this matter in further detail.

In addition, you may be interested to know that we offer monthly retainers which provide legal and commercial support. These schemes are a popular and cost effective way of managing your commercial and contractual issues.
