OUR LEGAL SERVICES / FOR BUSINESS / corporate

• Starting up a new business?
• Looking to expand, buy or takeover an existing firm?
• Or need advice to plan your business exit strategy?

We offer practical legal advice with a commercial focus for every stage in the lifecycle of your business. We can help you to minimise risks, maximise returns and achieve your business goals. We work with all sizes of enterprise, from individual entrepreneurs and owner-managed SME’s to major blue-chip corporate clients.

If you are setting up your business, we will advise you on the best structure, ensuring that all necessary documents and agreements are in place, deal with incorporation issues, shareholder or partnership agreements, directors’ and employees’ contracts and the purchase or leasing of premises.

If your business is arranging finance, we will help you put this in place. Whether you are taking facilities from the bank, arranging asset finance, or introducing new investors, corporate finance or venture capital, we have the experience and expertise required to make sure that your funding is put in place and that your interests are protected.

Whether yours is a newly established, or mature, business we can advise you on all aspects of corporate governance and regulatory compliance. As your business grows, we can advise you on the most suitable options. Whether you enter into a joint venture, buy another business or company or simply grow your business organically, we will ensure that the process is implemented effectively.

The financial markets may ultimately offer the right growth or exit option for your business. Working with your other advisors, we can help achieve your listing, working with you from the initial planning stage right through to listing day and beyond.

If you are buying or selling a business, our team can help you to get the deal done on time and on budget. Our pragmatic approach to handling mergers and acquisitions, disposals, MBO's and MBI's will add value to the process and ensure that the deal goes through smoothly.
