James M
 
Commercial Contract Lawyer / Legal Adviser

Shoreham-By-Sea, United Kingdom
is about to complete a crucial contract negotiation for a global manufacturing business

About Me

I am a commercial and contracts lawyer with over 10 years' experience of providing legal advice in a consultative capacity (8 years' experience) and in-house (3 years' experience), and combine this legal experience with a wealth of business, commercial and technological knowledge and expertise. In both main roles I was responsible for providing legal advice and contract drafting (and contract negotiation and advising on contract disputes) for internal and external clients as well as related legal research and analysis.

My services include:
- contract drafting;
- drafting of most forms of commercial contracts, agreements, business terms and conditions (b2b and b2c), IT&E-Commerce agreements and related legal documents;
- legal advice, legal research and legal analysis; and
- advising on related contract law and commercial issues.

All documents that I draft are clear, precise and well laid out, and formatting and style can be customised to the client's needs.

I can commit to short timescales and will offer fixed price quotes or hourly rates.

Principal areas of law in which I specialise are:
- Contract law
- Commercial law
- Agency distribution law
- Competition law
- Consumer law
- Employment law
- Data protection and privacy
- Advertising and marketing compliance
- Intellectual property
