When contracts are key to success

Companies supplying specialised, technical services are often faced with complex contracts given the number of legal and commercial issues involved. Generis Technology, a leading supplier of software to utility companies used Berg Legal to advise on various agreements to cover its provision of services, including software licensing, IT support and to deal with contract extensions.

Mark Royle, Managing Director of Generis, said: "Having the right contracts is key to the success of our business. Berg Legal achieved exactly the right balance, protecting revenue streams and safeguarding against risk while maintaining our commercial and competitive approach."

A secure basis for innovation

Astek Innovations is a leader in the design and development of dental products.  The company has contracts in place with manufacturers and supplies at one end of the supply chain to distributors at the other.

Alan Segal, CEO of Astek says: "Having formal agreements in place ensures that everyone in the chain is clear about their responsibilities, rights and financial entitlements.  The Berg team quickly got to grips with our business and understood the commercial issues.  They provided sensible advice and fast and efficient turnaround of documents."
