Your Business
Corporate & Commercial
Whether you are just starting out, expanding through mergers and acquisitions, or looking to explore new avenues altogether, our Company and Commercial Law team can help you at every stage. We primarily advise individual investors and entrepreneurs, SMEs and corporations. We also work with specialist colleagues in our Commercial Property, Litigation and Dispute Resolution, and Employment teams where appropriate, to tailor our approach.
Our corporate and commercial team advises businesses at every stage, from first incorporation to the sale of an established company. We cover a broad range of corporate and commercial law matters, including:
Start-ups – choosing the right business structure, company formation, shareholder and partnership agreements, terms and conditions, and acquiring leasehold or freehold premises.
Commercial contracts – agency, distribution and franchise agreements, terms and conditions, joint venture and partnership agreements, the supply of goods and services, and licensing.
Company law – directors’ powers and duties, shareholder matters, company reorganisations, shareholders’ agreements and amendments to Articles of Association.
Acquisitions and disposals – buying and selling businesses through both share and asset deals, including heads of terms, drafting and negotiating share purchase and asset purchase agreements, assisting with due diligence, disclosure and advising on employment.
