Commercial Transactions
The firm’s exposure to litigation in a variety of fields is the basis of its grasp of the difficulties which businesses typically face. This background is brought into play when drafting commercial agreements. Contracts and business systems are customised for clients to anticipate legal problems that are typical in their industry or that have featured in the history of the business, and to proactively guard against them.
It is important to the firm that its clients are able to apply the terms of their contracts without necessarily having to take further legal advice. The approach in drafting is to “road map” transactions so that transactions can be easily implemented, and disputes can be avoided or resolved without need for referral to court or arbitration.
Warrick de Wet Redman Attorneys has negotiated and drafted agreements for implementation in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Germany, Singapore, Mauritius, Ivory Coast, Mozambique and South Africa.
Typically, these contracts concern the sale of businesses, sale of shares in companies, shareholders’ agreements, company incorporation documents, joint ventures, partnerships, trusts, franchises, distribution agreements, financing agreements, service level agreements, standard terms and conditions of trade, leases, public event management, sponsorships, due diligence exercises and and include the associated legislative compliance filings.
