Contract Law

Our business lawyers have a long experience of formulating agreements on behalf of our clients within the framework of their various business activities. Furthermore, the importance of a clear and agreement can not be overestimated as such an act creates long-term conditions for good relations between you and your business partners. Agreements also have the effect of helping the involved parties by drawing up guidelines that clarify everyone’s duties which in turn helps create continuity in the business relationship.

At H I Juristbyrå, we can secure your business or private assets through a written agreement. Our expertise includes both the creation of private agreements and commercial agreements, while we also prepare public procurements for suppliers in the public market.

As previously mentioned, the importance of written agreements cannot be overestimated. Even if you in theory can continue without them, it can be a costly story when the conflict arises and you do not have a written agreement to rely on as evidence. Thus, a written agreement always to be recommended.

What type of agreement is relevant for you?

Contract writing is one of the main areas of legal work in general. The Contracts Act (1915: 218) contains the rules for concluding an agreement. The main principle in Sweden is that agreements are binding according to the principle of pacta sunt servanda. This also includes verbal agreements that are considered binding, but in terms of evidence, written agreements weigh more heavily in the event of a dispute. Most agreements are so-called consensual agreements, which means that they are valid even if they have been concluded in the form of a verbal agreement.

• Cooperation agreement
