I am the head of the firm's International Commercial Group, and established the cyber-security team back in 2010. I am a commercial lawyer engaged in providing a full spectrum of legal support to clients for their day to day business.

When recession and financial turmoil strikes (as we are currently experiencing ) the scene changes fast. The volumes by which your pricing structures have been set may no longer be relevant, the existing service levels may no longer be appropriate, and consolidation and corporate reorganisation may have materially changed the needs of your business.

Adapting fast and efficiently to economic downturn is key to survival and to laying the foundations for recovery. Skilfully adjusting your supply arrangements to fit your needs can materially assist your recessionary planning.

We believe that re-profiling your contracts in such circumstances needs two sets of expertise: commercial legal expertise and practical operational experience.

To meet your needs, our market leading commercial team have joined forces with SquadRED, which specializes in strategic outsourcing advice, in order to support you.

Together we have developed the Three Point Plan, a methodology to assist you to:

1 Drive a reassessment of your needs;
2 Refocus your business requirements;
3 Realign your contracts to ensure that they deliver what is needed now and at the right price.

This combination of contract law skills and operational expertise equips you with the tools required to face the challenges posed by the current economic landscape.

We would love to have an opportunity to meet with you to hear more about your challenges – get in touch with any of our team to find out more about how we can help.
