Contracts
Drafting and reviewing commercial contracts, identifying risk before signature, and addressing breach.
The civil and commercial codes set out the principles governing contracts: the conditions of a valid contract — consent, capacity and lawfulness — together with the rules for dealing with breach and for handling the disputes that may follow from it.
