Operation, contracts and projects
Sometimes less aware of the consequences, small but also larger contracts are concluded every day. Its consequences are best estimated correctly by a lawyer before you sign it. Certainly if they are part of a broader planning or a concrete project.
- Do they fully meet your objectives?
- Do you receive the necessary guarantees?
- Are you sufficiently safeguarding your interests?
- What are the consequences of shortcomings?
- Do they fit within your short and longer term planning?
Be sure to read them in good time, and ask us for legal advice regarding your project in advance.
We prefer to help you in a timely manner with all aspects of your contracts and projects, both at the start (search for a suitable contract and the modalities to be included), during the agreements (correct compliance and enforcement) and at the end (breaking, termination , implications).
Arrive in time for a consultation or even more, book a sparring moment, during which we sit down with you and thoroughly go over all possible options with you and together we think about which steps are best taken.
Your contracts
Commercial lease, common lease, occupation in demand, alternative forms, rights in rem such as usufruct or superficies, hire-purchase, purchase, leasing, etc. often bind for a lower duration and are often subject to strict regulations.
The same may apply to agreements in which services are provided (telephony or internet solutions, maintenance contracts, printers, etc.):
- automatic contract renewal clauses
- termination or severance payments
- price adjustment clauses, etc.
These can have a much bigger impact than what the fine print would suggest…
Collaboration agreements also often have an impact in the longer term, so that contracts to be concluded such as franchising, mandates, trade representation, commercial agency, mandates, employment contracts, etc. are also followed up very well.
Specific clauses in the above contracts can also have different consequences depending on the background, the type of contract, the qualification that may be given to it, and the mandatory or non-mandatory legal rules that apply to it. For example, a competition clause will not always be fully implemented, and in other cases certain clauses will have to be kept unread because they are in conflict with mandatory legislation.
So be sure to have everything checked to see if it is in accordance with your plans and objectives.
Your plans and projects
We would also be happy to discuss the feasibility of your plans with you with proposals for optimization, eliminating legal loopholes and offering alternative solutions.

But vigilance can also be useful in your contract with the contractor and architect when, for example, entering into construction work. What price agreements are there, and what are the consequences of this? What provisions have been included regarding the delivery of the works? Are there no risks as a result of the choice of contract partner?, etc…
In short, let us make the difference for you in advance.

Even then we are happy to be by your side to keep the damage as limited as possible and where possible to recover from the other side.
