Supply agreements cover the ongoing purchase of goods or services under defined terms, typically including price, delivery, quality standards, and remedies for breach. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the contract, checks warranties, liability caps, indemnities, and who bears risk during transit, and may help register or file notices, review supply chain clauses, and advise on termination and dispute resolution. The work often hinges on performance timelines, acceptance criteria, and the handling of non-conforming goods or services.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles complex drafting and negotiation of terms such as price variation, delivery schedules, quality assurance, liability caps, and indemnities, and advises on breach, termination, and remedies. They manage interactions with suppliers, customers, and logistics providers, and align contract terms with commercial risk, regulatory compliance, and project timelines.
