towards the interests of his company
IMO "frente" in this context is used in the sense of "enfrente de los intereses ....) which I would translate as "towards" (not against) his attitude towards the Company´s interests: whether my assumption is correct or not should result from the text´s context.

in contrast with your company's interests
I believe the wording has to be "sensitive" here. They want to reserve their rights, but they don't want to alienate their prospective client by including something in the contract that may seem to go against the client, even though it is. I would not use "against" or "opposition" even though they transmit the meaning. Instead, I would use something closer to "frente" that has a friendlier tone.
