How Can Our Contract Lawyers Help?
At Kells, our contract lawyers are here to help you navigate the challenging and oftentimes confusing world of contract law. From contract reviews and preparation to contract advice, interpretation and disputes, we can provide practical, up-to-date solutions that protect you and your company.
Our team is always on hand to assist with all your contract needs, no matter how complex or simple the issue may be. We take the time to explain the complex legal concepts in plain language, so you’ll know exactly what your rights and obligations are under a contract.
Our fixed price contract review service allows you to understand the legal risks of a contract before you enter into it, whether it is an employment contract, franchise agreement, licence agreement, lease, construction contract or terms of trade.
Our lawyers are experienced in drafting simple and complex contracts, including:
- Confidentiality agreements – sometimes incorporating exclusive dealing periods
- Website and application terms and conditions
- Service and supply agreements
- Business terms and conditions and credit applications
- Franchise agreements
- Consultancy agreements
- Building contracts and subcontracts
- Joint venture agreements in relation to business arrangements and property dealings
- Intellectual property licensing agreements
- Hire contracts
- IT contracts
- Distributorship agreements
- Haulage contracts
These documents have been prepared for clients in a range of industry sectors including aged care, manufacturing, retail, franchising, health, property development, business services, finance, IT, software production and consultant services.
While engagements and relationships often start out well, issues can arise. Our lawyers can provide pragmatic and prompt advice so that you know where you stand on the issue. We can support you from behind the scenes and help draft your responses so that the other party need not even know that you are receiving legal advice.
If the issue needs to be escalated, we are experienced in alternative dispute resolution forums including informal settlement negotiations, mediations, conciliation and arbitration. The reality is that the vast majority of contract disputes will not result in litigation. The use of alternative dispute resolution enables us to reach suitable outcomes without the considerable expense that may otherwise be incurred.
While we maintain a focus on dispute resolution, our lawyers are also experienced in managing litigation in the NCAT, Local Court, District Court and Supreme Court.
