Commercial Solicitors

Every business is unique, with its own goals, structure and operational needs. Whether you’re launching a new venture or managing an established organisation, the right legal framework helps protect your interests and supports long-term success.

We provide clear, practical advice on choosing and setting up the most appropriate structure for your business, from sole traderships and farming partnership agreements to private limited companies and limited liability partnerships. We also draft and advise on the key legal documents that govern and protect your business relationships, including:

• Shareholder agreements
• Articles of association
• Partnership agreements
• Terms and conditions of business
• Employment and director service contracts

As your business grows and evolves, we can help you adapt and take advantage of commercial opportunities, such as share and asset sales.  Our focus is always on safeguarding your position and reducing risk, so you can move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re establishing a business, strengthening governance or planning for the future, our corporate and commercial team is here to help.

Employment law continues to evolve rapidly, and keeping up with regulatory requirements can be challenging for any business. We provide practical, commercially focused advice to help employers meet their obligations, protect their organisation and maintain positive working relationships.

The best way to minimise the risk of costly and disruptive disputes is to ensure your employment contracts, procedures and policies are robust and up to date. We can help you implement the right foundations, giving you confidence that your business is well-protected and compliant.

If a dispute does arise, our team can advise and represent you in Employment Tribunal claims, always acting swiftly to protect your commercial interests and reputation.

We regularly assist employers with:

• Employment contracts for junior, senior and director-level employees
• Staff handbooks and workplace policies
• Disciplinary and grievance procedures
• Family-friendly rights (maternity, paternity and parental leave)
• Flexible working requests
• Sickness absence and pay issues
• Redundancy
• TUPE and business transfers
• Settlement agreements and negotiated exits.

To help you stay ahead of changes in the law, we can also, review existing documentation and processes and recommend updates to reduce risk and improve operational management.

Whether you need day-to-day HR support or guidance through a specific employment issue, our team is here to help.
