Commercial Law Services
Our expert commercial solicitors, many of whom are individually recognised by The Legal 500, are able to help you with a wide range of legal issues, and will endeavour to go the extra mile to make sure you fully understand what is required of you and your business. We’re on your side, and we want to see your business succeed. Whether you need help with recovering a business debt, purchasing a commercial property, or resolving a commercial dispute, we have a team who are here to help.
Our wide range of business legal services covers the following:
Business Contracts
Written commercial agreements are a crucial aspect of any business. They serve to provide a clear framework, outlining exactly what is expected by each signatory party, therefore minimising risk and protecting your business if a dispute should arise. Whether the contract is between you and your customers, suppliers, shareholders, partners, or funders, our business legal team can help you to navigate the jargon.
Business Debt Recovery
A business can’t run properly if it doesn’t have money coming in, so ensuring that your clients pay their invoices on time is essential. Late payments affect your cash flow, profits, and overall ability to operate effectively. Our DebtSolve team can aid you in recovering late payments, enforcing action against non-payers, and amending your credit control processes to minimise future cash flow issues.
Business Sales and Purchases
Buying or selling a business can be a complex process, and there can be serious repercussions if mistakes are made during the sale. Our business legal team will help you every step of the way, including drafting and reviewing purchase offers, drafting contracts for sale, dealing with regulations surrounding things such as money laundering, carrying out due diligence, and limiting your liability once the sale is made final.
Charity and Social Enterprise
When setting up a new charitable enterprise, there are certain processes that must be followed, and our team of commercial solicitors will provide practical assistance and advice. We can help with a number of issues, including the registration of a new charity, the incorporation of community interest companies, the transfer of assets from unincorporated organisations to incorporated organisations, the dissolution of a charity, and the constitution and governance of a charity, amongst many other things.
Commercial Dispute Resolution
Disputes within your business can cost you time and money, causing frustration, and potentially doing irreparable damage to your reputation and business relationships. With the right advice from our business legal team, even the most contentious of disputes can be resolved effectively. Common disputes that we deal with include property disputes, contract disputes, employment disputes, and commercial negligence claims.
Commercial Property Services
Obtaining a commercial property can be a valuable asset and investment for your business, but it is essential that the terms are right for your business. Our commercial property solicitors can help you with such matters as the buying and leasing of premises, the acquisition of land for development, making investments in property, raising the finances to develop the property, and landlord and tenant services.
Corporate Law Services
Our specialist corporate lawyers take the time to understand what your commercial objectives are, so that we can tailor our services to you, providing practical and targeted business advice. We can assist with a variety of business issues including management buy-outs and buy-ins, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder disputes, succession planning, and setting up companies, partnerships, LLPs, and constitutions, amongst many other things.
Employment Law
There are a number of legislative orders that businesses must follow, which can hugely impact how the business functions. However, keeping up to date with the necessary employment legislation can be time consuming for business owners, taking them away from the day to day running of their business. Our employment law solicitors specialise in helping businesses to deal with employment policies and procedures, contracts of employment, dispute resolution, redundancies, and dismissals.
