Commercial and civil contracts
A good contract is not the one that assumes bad faith — it is the one that puts expectations in order. Most commercial disputes that reach a courtroom do not begin with deception: they begin with what nobody wrote down because, at the time, it seemed obvious to everyone. We draft and negotiate with an eye on how the agreement will be performed over the years, not just on how it gets signed on day one.

A contract does two things at once: it allocates risk and it sets expectations. The first is visible in the fine print; the second shows in how the parties behave when something goes wrong. Working only on the first produces technically sound contracts that get breached anyway — working only on the second produces goodwill with nothing behind it.
Commercial agreements
Distribution, agency, supply, franchise, services, joint ventures and business collaboration agreements. Drafting, review and negotiation, with particular attention to the clauses people only read once there is a problem: term, notice, exclusivity, goodwill indemnity and early termination. Where the agreement forms part of a corporate transaction, we integrate it with our M&A and corporate law work.
Civil and asset-related contracts
Sale and purchase agreements, leases, loans, exchanges, options and contracts over real property. Documenting transactions between individuals and within families, where clarity matters as much as legal rigour — these are agreements that get re-read years later, often in very different circumstances. On property transactions we work alongside our real estate law practice.
Negotiation support
We do more than draft: we sit at the table. Our training as mediators changes how a contract negotiation is run — identifying what each side actually needs, separating positions from interests, and closing agreements both sides can live with. A contract one party signs feeling cornered is a dispute postponed, not avoided.
Standard terms and recurring contracting
Design of template clauses, general terms and conditions and adhesion contracts for businesses that contract repeatedly. Review against Spanish consumer protection rules and the incorporation and transparency tests, so the model does not fail in precisely the case where you need it to hold.
Breach, termination and renegotiation
When a contract is already being breached, the first decision is rarely to sue: it is to work out what you want to achieve and which relationship is worth preserving. We assess the options — formal demand, renegotiation, termination, damages — and where the dispute is live we offer both mediation and litigation, depending on what the case genuinely calls for.
Does this sound familiar?
If any of these situations describe your current challenge, we can help.
- You are about to sign a distribution, agency or supply agreement and want to know what happens when the relationship ends, not only how it begins.
- You work with a key client or supplier without a written contract, or under one signed years ago that no longer reflects what you actually do.
- The other side has sent you their standard form and you need to know what you are really taking on before signing it.
- You need a template you can use repeatedly, and you want it to hold up without reviewing it case by case.
- A contract is being breached and you want to weigh your options before taking a step that closes doors.
- You are contracting with a foreign company and are unclear which law should govern the agreement and which courts you would end up before.
