Company Structure and Incorporation
We provide advice and assistance on setting up the correct legal structure for businesses, along with arranging the supporting documentation. We also deal with the risks and opportunities involved in the transfer of ownership, disability, or dispute.
Negotiation and Drafting of Commercial Agreements
The first thing to realise when you are about to enter into a lease for a commercial property is that there is no such thing as a standard contract. Our commercial team is here to help you complete the necessary documentation.
Joint Venture Agreements
A joint venture is a contractual agreement that joins together two or more parties for the purpose of executing a particular business arrangement. We have considerable experience in drawing up the documents required to bring about the best result for you.
Business Sales and Purchases
Buying or selling a business can be exciting, and it may also be a complex exercise. We have extensive experience advising our clients in relation to all aspects of the process, whether it be the sale and purchase of business assets or shares in a business.
Public–Private Partnerships
Our commercial team is experienced with helping to establish public–private partnership agreements between the public and private sectors. For example, where a local authority becomes involved with a private company or other organisation to provide a community service.
