01
Begin a commercial relationship
Two parties are about to work together, and the arrangement needs to be held in an agreement.
Legal
Contracts
Commercial agreements that reflect the relationship you intend to build. Consider the terms, responsibilities and practical consequences before the next commitment.
Discuss your priorities
The wider perspective
The agreement follows what the parties are trying to do.
The right legal approach begins with the real relationship: who is involved, what has been agreed and what needs to happen next. Millcorn connects the legal work with the commercial, personal and financial consequences so that advice can be considered in context.
In focus

Discuss my situationExpertise in context
Contracts
The work, organised around your priorities.
02
Buy or sell something significant
A transfer of a business, assets or a substantial commercial position is being documented.
03
Engage a counterparty
A supplier, provider, partner or other counterparty is being brought into the operating picture.
In practice
Different situations. A considered response.
An operating commercial relationship
A company documenting how it works with a counterparty. Contract work examines the relationship and the terms; corporate position and the operating numbers sit beside it where they belong.
A business acquisition
People, contracts and licences move with the deal. Contract work examines the agreements that hold the commercial terms; the transaction process, tax consequence and accounting sit with it.
An international commercial arrangement
The relationship crosses a border. Contract work examines the agreement; tax, the regulatory position and, where use of intellectual property is part of the arrangement, that work sit beside it.
Working together
A clear path through the work.

From perspective to action
The agreement follows what the parties are trying to do.
A contract is not finished at signature. Its terms become part of day-to-day commercial performance — what each party does, what depends on the other, and how the economic relationship is carried.
The engagement begins with a shared view of the questions to resolve, the work to be delivered and who is responsible. As the matter develops, the plan can be reviewed against new information and changing priorities.

One decision. A wider impact.
The instrument is not a file produced at the start. It holds who the parties are, what they are trying to do, the commercial terms, and how the relationship is expected to work.
We identify the dependencies early, so the relevant professionals can work from a shared understanding of the objective and the information available.

Start a conversationWhat information is useful at the outset?+
Relevant agreements, correspondence, key dates and your intended outcome. We will identify what needs to be clarified before agreeing the engagement.
How does this connect with other advice?+
A commercially attractive option may create tax, employment or ownership consequences that need a separate assessment.
How are fees and timing agreed?+
The relevant professionals review the circumstances, available information and dependencies. Scope, responsibilities, fees and the timetable are then agreed for the specific engagement.
