Terms and Conditions Solicitors
Commercial
- Set up defined terms and conditions to regulate your business relationships.
- Protect your rights and risks by creating legally valid contracts.
Poorly drafted terms and conditions leave your business exposed. Whether you supply goods, provide services, trade online, or work with other businesses, your commercial agreements need to be clear, enforceable, and tailored to how you actually operate. Gurve Legal is a London-based commercial law firm that drafts, reviews, and negotiates terms and conditions for businesses of all sizes, from growing SMEs to established commercial operators. We act for both buyers and sellers, giving us a genuinely balanced understanding of where disputes arise and how to prevent them.
Unlike generic template providers, we take time to understand your business before putting a single clause in writing. The result is a set of terms that holds up when it matters most.
Our Terms and Conditions Services
Our commercial solicitors advise businesses across a wide range of sectors on every aspect of their standard terms. Whether you are starting from scratch or updating outdated documents, we provide practical, plain-English advice that protects your commercial position.
Drafting Terms and Conditions from Scratch
If your business does not yet have formal terms in place, you are trading at significant risk. We work with you to understand your business model, your customer relationships, and your key commercial concerns, then produce a comprehensive set of terms covering every stage of your dealings.
- Payment terms and late payment provisions
- Delivery, performance, and acceptance conditions
- Liability caps and exclusion clauses
- Intellectual property ownership and licensing
- Termination rights and consequences
- Governing law and dispute resolution
Reviewing and Updating Existing Terms
Terms and conditions drafted several years ago may no longer reflect your business or comply with current legislation. Our solicitors review your existing documents and identify gaps, ambiguous wording, and clauses that may be unenforceable. We then redraft or update as needed to bring your terms in line with your current operations and applicable law.
Supplier and Customer-Facing Terms
We draft separate sets of terms for businesses that need distinct documents for different relationships, whether that is standard terms of sale for customers, purchase terms for suppliers, or service agreements for ongoing commercial relationships. If you work within a regulated sector, we factor in any sector-specific obligations. Our commercial contracts team advises across the full range of business agreements.
Website Terms and Conditions
E-commerce and service businesses require website terms that cover consumer rights, data handling, acceptable use, and liability. We draft website terms and conditions that are compliant with UK consumer protection legislation and GDPR, working alongside our GDPR and data protection team where required.
Terms and Conditions Disputes
When a dispute arises over whether your terms were properly incorporated, or whether a particular clause is enforceable, our solicitors provide clear advice on your position and next steps. Where necessary, we work with our dispute resolution and litigation team to pursue or defend claims arising from contractual terms.
Terms for Franchise and Licensing Arrangements
Businesses operating franchise models or licensing their intellectual property require terms that protect their brand, set out permitted use, and establish clear obligations for each party. Our franchising solicitors and intellectual property team work together to ensure your documents are commercially robust.
Why Choose Gurve Legal for Terms and Conditions?
We Act for Both Sides Most commercial solicitors work primarily for either buyers or sellers. At Gurve Legal, we advise both. That dual perspective means we understand precisely where disputes arise, which clauses are routinely challenged, and how to draft terms that hold up from both sides of a negotiation.
Commercial Focus, Not Consumer Templates Our work is focused on commercial and B2B clients. We do not produce off-the-shelf consumer documents. Every set of terms we produce is drafted specifically for your business, your sector, and your commercial relationships.
Joined-Up Legal Advice Terms and conditions rarely exist in isolation. We draw on expertise across our commercial, regulatory, intellectual property, and dispute resolution teams to ensure your documents reflect every dimension of your business. If your terms need to address data protection, licensing, or restructuring, we have the in-house knowledge to cover it.
Practical Drafting, Plain Language We write terms that your customers and suppliers can actually understand, which makes them easier to enforce and less likely to generate disputes. Clear, well-structured terms are a commercial asset, not just a legal formality.
