Company Commercial

From the moment a business is founded to the point it is sold, there is a legal dimension to almost every significant decision it makes. Our corporate and commercial team are here to support you, with clear, commercially focused advice that protects your interests and helps your business move forward with confidence.

Running a business means making consequential decisions about how it is structured, who has a stake in it, who leads it, how it grows, and ultimately how it might be sold or passed on. Each of these decisions has a legal dimension, and the quality of the legal framework you put in place at each stage will determine how well you are protected if things do not go to plan.

Our corporate and commercial team works with businesses at every stage of their journey, from founders putting the right structures in place at the outset, to established companies navigating acquisitions, and everything in between. We combine legal expertise with genuine commercial understanding, which means our advice is always grounded in what is practical and proportionate for your business, not just what is theoretically correct.

Shareholder Agreements & Director Service Contracts

Two of the most important documents any private company will put in place, and two of the most commonly overlooked. A shareholder agreement establishes the rules that govern the relationship between those with a stake in a business. A director service contract sets out the terms on which the people who run it are engaged. Together, they form the legal foundation on which a well-governed company is built.

Commercial Contracts & Terms and Conditions

Every significant business relationship should be underpinned by a contract that clearly sets out what each party has agreed to do, and what happens if they do not. We draft, review, and negotiate the full spectrum of commercial agreements, from standard terms and conditions of sale to complex, bespoke arrangements covering supply, services, technology, licensing, and outsourcing.
