Supply Contracts

Every business relies on suppliers. Whether you manufacture products, provide services, or operate in the trades, your supply contracts shape your risk, cash flow, and reputation. A clear, well drafted supply agreement protects your position, sets expectations, and keeps commercial relationships on track. If you need support with a new or existing supply contract, we can help.

Drafting for the situation

No two supply arrangements are the same. We take time to understand your business, your objectives and the practical realities of the deal. We draft supply contracts that work in the real world, whether you need a reusable template or a bespoke agreement for a key client.

‍

Providing advice on the contract

Before you sign, you need to understand the impact. We advise on how a supply contract affects your business, highlight areas of risk and suggest practical amendments. We will protect your commercial interests while preserving valuable supplier and customer relationships.

‍

Staff training

A strong contract only works if your team uses it properly. We provide practical training on forming supply agreements correctly and managing day to day issues. This includes guidance on term, termination, breach of contract and handling disputes confidently and consistently.

‍

Data protection and intellectual property

Supply contracts often involve sensitive information, data and valuable intellectual property. We draft and negotiate robust clauses covering confidentiality, data protection and ownership of intellectual property. This protects your goodwill, safeguards your data, and reduces the risk of misuse or costly disputes.

‍

Liability and indemnities

We advise on your appetite for risk before you enter into a contract. Then we draft limitation of liability and indemnity clauses that reflect that position, protect your business, and comply with legal requirements.

Questions we’re often asked

Can I use a standard supply agreement?

A template supply agreement can be useful as a starting point. However, most agreements are negotiated once issued, and terms must reflect the specific deal. A tailored contract ensures key risks, pricing structures and obligations are properly addressed.

Do you review supply agreements sent to us?

Yes. It is common to receive a supply contract from another business. We regularly review, amend and negotiate these agreements, ensuring the terms are commercially acceptable and aligned with your risk profile.

Can you include clauses dealing with damages?

Yes. Supply contracts can include clauses dealing with damages or financial remedies if there is a breach. However, these clauses must be carefully drafted and proportionate. If they are excessive or punitive, they may not be enforceable.

Andrew Morgan (Senior Associate Solicitor) is quite an exceptional legal mind. What distinguishes Andrew is his ability to think deeply and strategically about every aspect of a case, approaching each decision as though his own money were on the line. That quality of personal investment is rare and enormously reassuring in high-stakes litigation.
