guides

We have also written some guides on key subjects of interest to our clients and contacts.

Our most recent publication is A Guide to Liability Limitations and Exclusions, which provides guidance on the law relating to limitation and exclusion clauses. Primarily aimed at non-lawyers, it will also be of interest to all those involved in negotiating commercial contracts on both the supplier and customer side of the negotiating table.

The following are available on request by contacting Angela Cornelius:
