Commercial Contract
Clear Terms. Strong Relationships. Legal Protection
Commercial Contracts form the backbone of business dealings. Whether you are entering into a supply contract, distribution arrangement, or service agreement, a well-drafted commercial contract protects your interests and builds trust. Our commercial contract services are delivered by experienced contract lawyers to ensure your business deals are clearly defined and legally sound.
Why Commercial Contracts Matter
A handshake is not enough in today’s complex business environment. Without a solid contract, you may be exposed to the following risks:
- Disputes over payment, timelines, or the scope of work
- Unclear obligations and responsibilities
- Risk of non-performance or breach
- Unenforceable terms that won’t hold up in court
- Damaged business relationships due to misunderstandings
We help you prevent these issues by documenting your commercial relationships in a way that protects your business and keeps things moving smoothly.

FAQs
Do we need a written commercial contract for every deal?
Yes. Verbal agreements are hard to enforce. A written contract ensures clarity and legal protection.
Can we reuse the same contract template for all clients?
Possibly, if the terms and framework are identical. We help create and adapt templates to fit recurring transactions.
What if the other party provides the agreement?
We review and flag any risks or one-sided terms before you sign.
Do you help with negotiating terms?
Yes, we support clients during negotiations to secure fair and balanced terms.
How do we ensure payment terms are enforceable?
We draft clear clauses on invoicing, milestones, and remedies for late or non-payment.
Can we include penalties for breach of agreement?
Yes, we help structure fair remedies such as liquidated damages or termination rights.
How long should a commercial contract last?
It depends on the nature of the deal. We draft fixed-term, rolling, or evergreen agreements as needed.
How do we handle termination rights in commercial contracts?
We advise on both mutual and unilateral termination clauses, including notice periods, exit obligations, and post-termination consequences.
What’s the difference between a letter of intent (LOI), MOU, and a binding contract?
LOIs and MOUs express intent but are often non-binding, unless stated otherwise. A contract is legally enforceable. We help you choose the right document based on your business stage and goals.
Why engage a contract lawyer for a commercial contract?
To protect your business from hidden risks, enforce your rights, and avoid costly disputes. Our team ensures your contracts work for you.

We are a Singapore-based company that sought to establish a joint venture in Malaysia with a local partner. The legal scope included trademark licensing, share award, call option arrangements, and more—ultimately involving the drafting of no fewer than a dozen agreements. We engaged Edwin Lee & Partners, Kuala Lumpur, to act for us in preparing these documents. Our clear instruction was that the agreements must be balanced and fairly reflect the interests of all parties involved. The team—comprising Mr. Edwin Lee, Ms. Wong Shen Ming, and Ms. Daphne Sit—worked meticulously with us, reviewing the terms line by line to ensure clarity, precision, and fairness. We are very satisfied with the smooth and timely execution of the entire suite of agreements. In addition, when the firm was later instructed to assist with finalizing a tenancy agreement between the JV company and the landlord, they did so efficiently and charged only a nominal fee. We highly appreciate their professionalism, attention to detail, and client-centric approach.Posted on Wendy KoayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
