Facilities management agreements

Every successfully managed estate needs a considered facilities management agreement, and our lawyers have the experience and expertise to provide that for you.

We understand that the right FM agreement will help you meet your commercial goals, so we use our extensive cross-sector expertise to put in place a tailored legal framework to achieve what you need.

An FM agreement may be complex, cutting across many areas of your business, but get it right and not only will it reduce the number of disputes between parties, but also lower your running and maintenance costs.

We make sure that these technical agreements are both practical and user-friendly so that they offer a framework that you know you can follow.
