Company and Commercial Law

Our experienced team is there to provide you with the support that you need to help your business grow. Our commercial practice advises many private companies on all aspects of their business, from starting up a company to acquiring one.

We can advise you on and prepare the appropriate contracts to ensure that you get the optimum advantage and we can advise you should there be a breach of those contracts. Such contracts include the supply of goods and services; assisting you with your own standard terms and conditions of business; and advising you on dealing with other companies terms and conditions. Should you wish to sell your own products through mail order or via the Internet, we can advise you on all aspects including complying with the Distance Selling Regulations as set out by the EU.

Should you wish to acquire or merge with another company, our experienced team of advisors can assist you with every step of the process, from the initial financing to the acquisition of share capital through to the negotiation, drafting and signing of the agreements themselves.

You may also wish to issue more shares in your company, or allot options as a bonus to your directors and/or employees. Our team can advise you on the various Inland Revenue approved and unapproved schemes and will suggest to you those which we believe will be most suitable for your business.
