Trade and Services

A customer who applies different terms and conditions, a supplier who delivers later than agreed, or a partnership that works out differently in practice than it does on paper. In trade and the service sector, legal clarity often lies in the details of day-to-day agreements.
Entrepreneurs in this sector move quickly. Quotations, orders, price agreements, general terms and conditions, and payment arrangements follow one another in rapid succession. This works well as long as everyone is on the same page, but that is precisely where misunderstandings often arise.
Is it a one-off assignment, a long-term partnership or a recurring service? Then you’ll want to know exactly what has been agreed regarding delivery, quality, liability and payment. This is particularly important when a client fails to pay, a service is in dispute or a partner interprets agreements differently.
LVH Advocaten helps entrepreneurs in the trade and service sectors to keep agreements clear and workable. We draw up contracts and terms and conditions, review existing agreements, advise on partnerships and assist when disputes arise regarding performance, payment or liability.
Our approach is practical. We look at what is legally sound, but also at which solution best suits your relationship with your customer or supplier. Sometimes this involves a clear formal notice; at other times, it may be a sharp adjustment to your terms and conditions or swift negotiation to prevent further escalation.
With clear agreements and timely advice, you can prevent commercial momentum from turning into legal uncertainty later on. This leaves you free to continue doing business, whilst maintaining control over your rights, obligations and risks.
Do you wish to tighten up agreements with customers, suppliers or business partners? Or is a dispute already underway? We’d be happy to help you gain clarity quickly and move forward in a practical way.
