At Lanyon Bowdler, our business lawyers take the time to understand clients' commercial objectives so that they can provide practical, targeted advice to businesses.
Corporate work dealt with by the department includes:
The Legal 500 has for many years recommended Lanyon Bowdler for corporate and commercial services in the West Midlands, the 2019 edition states;
"Lanyon Bowdler is ‘a client-oriented practice – clients feel that they are listened to in terms of their requirements rather than just a billing number’. Gráinne Walters in Telford, who has an ‘excellent grasp of the business issues, and is very proactive’ advised the Welsh Water Elan Trust on forming a joint venture with, among others, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water and Natural Resources Wales to seek Heritage Lottery Fund money. Assistant solicitor Edward Burrell’s advice is ‘easy to understand, straightforward and on the money’, with fellow assistant solicitor Timothy Roberts ‘very understanding of clients’ requirements and quick to turn the required documents around’."
The 2019 edition of Chambers UK recognises the team in Band 4 for the West Midlands saying the team is known as being: "Respected local practice covering Shropshire and Herefordshire, with a strong base of agricultural clients. Practice specialisms include MBOs, joint venture arrangements and succession planning. Advises charities and non-profits, renewable energy companies and educational institutes"
Strengths
One client enthuses: "I really like the relationship I have built with them. Their document turnaround is quick and they've become a valuable part of my team."
Other sources say: "They've been able to tone down the legal jargon into layman's speak for shareholders - we feel like we are dealing with normal people who understand the legal side but are able to make it clear."
Put simply, we understand the important relationship between the legal and commercial aspects of business.
