Commercial Contracts
MAAK Advocaten is highly experienced in the negotiation, drafting, and evaluation of commercial contracts. Precisely because parties are at the beginning of a collaboration at that juncture, it is the ideal moment to commit things to paper in precise terms. Over the years, MAAK’s lawyers have built up expertise and an ironclad reputation in drafting, modifying, and negotiating national and international contracts. When cooperation ultimately stops bearing fruit, MAAK can also advise you with regard to terminating the business cooperation and possibly claiming damages. If a court case proves inevitable, MAAK’s specialists can initiate civil proceedings and represent you as a lawyer at court and/or an arbitration institute.
