Contracts & Negotiations

Contracts and Negotiations

Contracts & Negotiations

I draft, review, and negotiate contracts so that your agreements are clear, balanced, and enforceable. A good contract is not the longest one — it is the one that allocates risk sensibly, anticipates what can go wrong, and still lets the deal happen. I represent clients throughout the negotiation, keeping the terms aligned with their business goals.

Agreements That Prevent Disputes Instead of Causing Them

Most commercial disputes are born in the drafting stage — a vague term, a missing exit clause, an unrealistic deadline. Careful drafting and honest negotiation are the cheapest litigation insurance you can buy.

Why Work With Me?

Both Sides of the Table

Law-firm drafting experience combined with dispute-resolution work — I know how contracts fail in court.

Cross-Border Contracts

Bilingual drafting and advice on governing-law and jurisdiction choices between Poland, Switzerland, and the EU.

How I Can Help

From a two-page NDA to a framework agreement governing years of cooperation, I match the depth of the work to the stakes of the deal.

Typical Matters I Handle

  • Service, supply, framework, and lease agreements
  • NDAs, IP-licence agreements, and general terms (GTC)
  • Contract negotiations and pre-dispute risk reviews

Can you review a contract before I sign it — on short notice?

Yes — pre-signature review is one of the most common things I do, and often the most valuable. Contact me with the document and your deadline; I will tell you immediately whether the timeline is realistic and what the review will focus on.

Do you negotiate directly with the other party?

If you want me to, yes — either visibly, negotiating on your behalf, or in the background, preparing your positions and reviewing each draft while you lead the relationship. Both models work; we choose what fits the deal.

Can you prepare bilingual contracts?

Yes — I draft in English and Polish, including two-column bilingual versions, and I make sure the contract states clearly which language version prevails. That single clause has saved more cross-border relationships than most people realise.

The other side already sent their template. Is it too late to negotiate?

Rarely. A template is an opening position, not a final offer — even large counterparties routinely accept reasonable, well-argued changes. What matters is knowing which clauses are worth the negotiating capital and which are standard.
