Commercial law focuses on the legal aspects of national and international commerce, and a major part of this is contract law. Although contracting parties are in principle free to determine the contents of their agreement themselves, there are statutory rules which cannot be deviated from in the agreement. Certain types of agreements, such as franchise and agency agreements and contracts for professional services are in fact governed to a very large extent by statutory rules. This is also the case with contracts with consumers. In these cases, there is in fact little freedom in the way such contracts have to be drawn up. If you are not familiar with the statutory limitations, you may be confronted with some unpleasant surprises.

The lawyers of CMS Derks Star Busmann can prevent such situations arising for you. They can also cover all kinds of other risks for you in the contract which you may not even have thought about, such as in the area of liability. They can assist you too in drawing up general terms and conditions specifically tailored to your situation and advise you on the latest developments in legislation and regulations that would be relevant to you.
