Corporate law
Careful contracts of a commercial nature
Business law (or commercial law) comprises the legal rules that relate to a company's business and commerce. Together with contract and obligation law, it lays the foundation for precise contracts you need as an entrepreneur in legal dealings with your customers, suppliers, and partners, from a cooperation agreement, distribution agreement or franchise agreement, to an SLA (service level agreement).
General contract law
If you engage LegalDirect, you will be working with a corporate law lawyer who, if required, follows everything meticulously from negotiation to drafting. We pay attention to every detail and ensure that the agreement does not inhibit your ability to fully leverage commercial opportunities. Not only do we specialize in general contract law, but we have also developed expertise in specific sectors over the years. From energy, to transport, to tech: our lawyers are happy to assist companies in rolling out innovative projects.
Specialized in IP and IT law
In contract law, we at LegalDirect have a further focus on IP law and IT law, looking explicitly at contractual liability, possibility of escrow, software specifications, etc.
- IP law is about protecting your intellectual property rights (intellectual property). As a technology start-up or spin-off, your company benefits from clear agreements with business partners and employees. Engage us as your intellectual property lawyers to protect the unique and valuable knowledge your company has developed.
- IT law plays a role in software agreements, among other things. Do you develop software or grant other parties the right to write or work with your own developments based on that software? Leverage our experience to legally protect your software, including its use, especially concerning privacy law.
Preventing and dealing with infringements
Through drafting contracts and agreements with great precision, we have successfully prevented numerous disputes. Nevertheless, it may happen that a company feels it has not been treated correctly by a business partner. If then there is indeed a breach of contractual agreements, and an amicable settlement proves not possible, we initiate the necessary legal proceedings before the appropriate courts.
Frequently asked questions
Of course, contracts must be well written, so that there is less room for interpretation that can lead to discussion. However, we pay attention to the commercial aspect of the contract in question. That is why we work proactively and are happy to participate in the negotiations about the agreement. This allows us to write a contract where the interests of all parties are balanced.
We would like to remain closely involved with our clients and therefore inform ourselves regularly. What's new? How are things running? What should be looked at? And it also works the other way around: clients often contact us spontaneously. If something needs to be done about a contract, they are confident that we will take care of it.
At LegalDirect we don't mince our words, especially when it comes to languages. We are quadrilingual Dutch-French-English-German. That's useful if you take us to the negotiating table. We will find a common language in which all parties can express themselves well.
If we have drawn up your agreements, contracts, articles of association or the like, we always have them at hand. For example, do you need a version or an adjustment of the texts for a new location? We have extensive knowledge of the subject and will send you the document you need.
