A deep bench for any commercial contracting need.
Husch Blackwell’s Commercial Contracting team assists clients with contracting needs across numerous industries, including consumer goods, manufacturing, aviation, rail, trucking, and renewable energy. Our deep bench of attorneys and paralegals regularly assist clients through the entire commercial contracting lifecycle including drafting complex terms and conditions, negotiating with counterparties, and managing critical agreements. We oversee large books of contracts and build ongoing partnerships with our clients’ business and legal teams.
In addition to core contracting expertise, our team regularly leverages the knowledge and experience of colleagues who are subject matter authorities in areas such as Intellectual Property, International Trade, Data Privacy & Cybersecurity, and Government Contracts.
While we are always available with timely, practical, and insightful counsel on individual contracts, we regularly serve as an extension of our clients’ in-house legal teams, routinely negotiating contracts within a given business unit or specific category on behalf of our clients. We utilize various technologies to streamline project intake and review. For many of our clients, we have negotiated and managed contracts with certain vendors or customers for more than a decade. Many of our team members have experience being seconded to clients, giving us in-house insight that can only be gained by working on-site with clients’ business and legal teams.
Whether discrete projects or complete outsourcing of contract management, our commercial contracting attorneys take care of the details so our clients can focus on their business strategy and growth. Our experience includes, but is not limited to:
- Terms and conditions of purchase and sale
