Contractual Negotiation and Drafting
At Jonker Inc we understand that commercial contracts are essential to business and commercial transactions and that legally sound contracts would eliminate and prevent unnecessary contractual disputes, which will ultimately avoid litigation. All too often, parties fail to regulate their relationships from the outset and then have nothing to rely on when the business relationship falls apart. This often results in huge litigation costs for both parties when trying to enforce their rights.
We can advise you on and draft a wide range of commercial contracts, which include tailoring a commercial contract to your needs whilst ensuring the contract remains legally sound. We can assist with the drafting, review, editing, updating and execution of the following contracts (without limitation):
- Shareholders agreements
- Service level agreements
- Association agreements
- Subscription agreements
- Supplier agreements
- Credit agreements
- Contracts of employment
- Contracts of lease (commercial and residential)
- Contracts of sale (movable and immoveable property)
- Franchise agreements
- Joint ventures
- Sale of business agreements
- Sale of assets agreement
- Partnership agreements
- Pledge and surety agreements
- Service contracts and retainer agreements
- Non-disclosure agreements; and
- Terms and conditions of service or sale
Commercial Litigation
In the event that parties fail to properly regulate the relationship between them, or even if they do but the relationship breaks down and there are disagreements relating to same, Jonker Inc are perfectly placed to assist you in resolving the dispute. We are also aware that in fighting disputes of this nature, there needs to be a careful balancing of what you stand to lose/gain versus legal costs and we pride ourselves in properly advising you in this regard.
