Our Practice Areas
Contracts
Are your terms of business designed for your business? Do you even have proper terms in place? Having thoughtfully-prepared terms of business and well-drafted contracts can be the difference between your business prospering, and facing costly financial claims and mistakes because of oversights or ambiguities in a contract. Speak to one of our solicitors for an informal free consultation to discuss all your commercial and contractual needs.
Technology & IP
Many businesses think they have their legal requirements covered where IP is concerned. However, technology is ever-changing and complex, so details can get lost along the way. Do you run a knowledge business? Is your USP something you personally created? Software, designs, processes or know-how - it's all intellectual property, and should be protected. We can help with patents, trademarks, design rights, copyright enforcement action, and everything else related to protecting your IP. Don't leave your business's future to chance: our lawyers understand the implications of having a knowledge business, as well as the legal frameworks that protect your intellectual property.
Corporate Law
The firm specialises in advising on company law. We can help you with all your corporate structure, governance and compliance needs. From providing day-to-day company secretarial services to giving advice on shareholders' agreements and articles of association, holding board meetings and AGMs, options agreements and other investment structures, our solicitors provide high-quality advice at affordable prices. Call us for a no-obligation consultation.
Shareholders' agreements are often critical for an SME. Is there more than one shareholder in your business? Have you considered what happens if a shareholder dies, or if a shareholder wishes to leave? This area of company law is often ignored or forgotten, but the consequences of doing so can be hugely damaging. When preparing for a sale of the business, dealing with your own shareholding, or where a conflict arises between the shareholders, a well-drafted shareholders' agreement is essential.
