Commercial contracts

Whatever the activity, partnerships or business deal – commercial contracts are needed to ensure the terms of the agreement are practical to work with and clear to all parties involved. Good commercial contracts are concise, geared to the specifics of the sector and leave no room for misunderstanding afterwards. At the same time, flexibility is needed to be able to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances in the life sciences and a commercial contract should not become a roadblock to innovation and growth.
