The most common reason organisations hire contract lawyers

Commercial contracts work is the backbone of every in-house legal function. Volume spikes with any period of business activity — procurement rounds, new product launches, M&A activity, or rapid headcount growth — and your permanent team can only absorb so much.

Synera Lex gives you access to experienced commercial lawyers who can step in quickly, work to your processes, and contribute from day one without the overhead of a law firm engagement.

✓ Technology and SaaS agreements
✓ Supply chain and procurement contracts
✓ NDAs and confidentiality agreements
✓ Distribution and reseller agreements
✓ Outsourcing and service agreements
✓ Contract review and red-lining
✓ Template library development
✓ Contract management process improvement
