Outsourcing contracts

Our legal experts look after your outsourcing contracts - you focus on what you do best

We deliver robust outsourcing contracts that bring all the advantages to your business while managing risk.

Outsourcing brings advantages and risk

Outsourcing can have many advantages for a business but also carries a degree of risk. Outsourcing is often used to reduce directs cost, get in a specialist, free up management time or create more office space. It is important that you get expert legal advice to draw up contracts that are clear and have the right level of flexibility to allow for changes in your business activities or structure.

What can our outsourcing contract lawyers do for you?

Sometimes outsourcing arrangements can impact your workforce. We can ensure minimum risk in this area. We will also make sure that agreements surrounding service levels and pricing are clear to both parties and futureproofed against potential disagreements.

Sector knowledge for outsourcing and years of experience

Our expert commercial lawyers have wide experience across all sectors and have acted for clients from major supermarkets, to professional bodies, to smaller enterprises. We always get to know our clients' businesses and understand all their objective to give proactive and timely advice.

Our commercial solicitors can support and advise you on a range of issues that should be covered in your outsourcing contracts including:

services to be provided
quality standards

what happens at the end of the contractual period
managing handover from one supplier to another
legal and regulatory requirements.

Our commercial team are experienced in all aspects of business law, so they’re the ideal people to help you sort out your outsourcing contracts. You can also be assured of a comprehensive and joined-up service with Tees. Our commercial team can call on the expertise of colleagues across our organisation, for example in employment law, commercial property, litigation and business finance.

We also have in-house independent financial advisers who work closely with our lawyers to deliver all the advice you need for your business.

Our independent financial advisers are regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means we are accountable for all the advice that we give.
