As featured in WCNW Chamber Of Commerce: The outbreak of Covid-19 has unfortunately led to many businesses becoming involved in contractual disputes with customers, suppliers and/or third parties.
Businesses and end users may not have considered such an unusual event at the time of entering into a contract, so the parties may now be in a difficult and uncertain position with no immediate or straight forward answer to an issue or dispute.
Drafting your terms and conditions in such a way to try to best prepare for such circumstances may greatly benefit your business in the future. That’s why Jolliffes, a commercial firm of solicitors in Chester, are offering a helping hand to businesses.
Jolliffes will offer a free initial review of your Ts&Cs, followed by a brief email and follow up phone call with their main recommendations for improvement as well as a discussion for effectively implementing the changes to try to ensure that your Ts&Cs govern each and every contract you enter into.
Simon Williams, head of commercial at Jolliffes, said “This is a very worrying time for SMEs, so making sure your contractual Ts&Cs are water-tight will give you some peace of mind to know you’re protected as best as possible”
Jolliffes can also help if you have become involved in a contractual dispute due to the effects of Covid-19. They can offer a free initial review of your position, followed by a brief call with advice on how you may want to move forwards with the dispute.
