We work closely with our colleagues in the corporate team, particularly in transactional matters where we can bring valuable commercial experience to due diligence work.
Having spent fifteen years working in-house for a large retail company, my approach is always to understand my clients' wider commercial objectives in entering into a contract. Those objectives should feed down into the detail - and be in no doubt, that detail is important and must be expressed in clear concise language. The best results are achieved when lawyer and client respect each other's skills and work together as a team.
