Commercial Law
Commercial law (also known as business law) is the body of law that governs business and commercial transactions. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law.
Commercial law includes within its compass such titles as principal and agent; carriage by land and sea; merchant shipping; guarantee; marine, fire, life, and accident insurance; bills of exchange and partnership.
It can also be understood to regulate corporate contracts, hiring practices, and the manufacture and sales of consumer goods.
Contract Negotiations
Individuals and Companies negotiate and enter into contracts fairly frequently in the course of business. Some business agreements may be simple enough for the typical person to draft, while others may require the help of a skilled lawyer.
In either case, the ideal end result is confidence that you have negotiated the best terms for your business, and created a well-drafted agreement that will avoid any dispute or potential litigation.
Successful contract negotiation means that both sides look for positives that benefit both parties in every area while achieving a fair and equitable deal.
A signed contract that benefits both parties will provide a firm foundation to build a long lasting relationship with your vendor.
Conveyancing
In law, conveyancing is the transfer of a legal title of property from one person to another, or the granting of an encumbrance such as a mortgage or a lien. The term conveyancing may also be used in the context of the movement of bulk commodities or other products such as water, sewerage, electricity, or gas.
A typical conveyancing transaction contains two major landmarks: the exchange of contracts (whereby equitable title passes) and completion (whereby legal title passes). Conveyancing occurs in three stages: before contract, before completion and after completion.
A system of conveyancing is usually designed to ensure that the buyer secures title to the land together with all the rights that run with the land, and is notified of any restrictions in advance of purchase.
