Commercial Contracts

The contracts businesses sign with each other to buy, sell and supply.

In a commercial seat, a junior drafts and checks these contracts, and tells the client what each clause lets it do.

The three editions here each follow one fictional agreement. In the first, a coffee machine maker appoints a Dublin company its exclusive distributor for Ireland. In the second, a payroll software company lets an HR consultancy sell its app under the consultancy's own brand. In the third, you draft a bakery's contract with the garage that services its vans. Each agreement is attached in full, with a short test after each chapter.
