Business Law

Business Law

Commercial counsel for founders, owner-managed businesses and boards, from formation to exit.

Overview

How we approach business law

We act as outside general counsel for growing businesses: incorporating, contracting, employing, acquiring and eventually selling.

Commercial advice is only useful if it is timely. Our business team works to agreed turnaround times rather than open-ended timescales.

Common situations

  • Incorporating a company and agreeing founder terms
  • Standard terms of business and supplier contracts
  • Shareholder disputes and governance questions
  • Acquiring or selling a business
  • Taking on commercial premises

Our Process

Four stages, agreed in advance

A consistent structure applied to every matter in this fictional practice.

  1. 01

    Initial consultation

    A structured first conversation where we map out your commercial position, the outcome you want and the realistic routes to get there.

  2. 02

    Scope and cost agreement

    You receive a written plan setting out the work, who will carry it out and a transparent fee structure before anything begins.

  3. 03

    Strategy and progress

    Your named solicitor progresses the matter, negotiates on your behalf and updates you in plain English at every meaningful stage.

  4. 04

    Resolution and aftercare

    We conclude the matter, hand over a clear record of what was agreed and set out anything you should review in the future.
