Maintained | England, Wales

A standard document for amending a commercial agreement, drafted as a deed. The document ensures amendments are legally binding by addressing potential consideration issues through the use of a deed. It provides a framework for setting out the agreed changes, either by listing them or attaching a revised agreement. It also addresses the impact on existing guarantees by including provisions for obtaining a guarantor's consent to the variation.
