Legal Services

Service Description

When you require legal advice or documentation, it is essential that you are confident in the company providing them, so you have the peace of mind that you are in full compliance with the law.

We work nationally with businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to well established SMEs and listed companies.
Please contact us if you need support. Our services typically include:

Commercial documents ranging from Terms of Business to commercial contracts
Commercial disputes
Policies & Procedures
Compliance

We can also offer bespoke information sessions on any aspect of running a company.

Advice on Disputes
When we are advising in a dispute, we are often involved at an early stage. We offer a service where we gather key evidence, put it in the context of the governing law, and empower clients to negotiate their own way out of a dispute. This is particularly useful for disputes that are lower value as it gives clients control over their costs

Drafting Documents

The real value of having us draft for you is to ensure that your documents are particular to your circumstances and needs. If these points are not addressed at the outset, the chances are you won’t have the protection you think you have.
If things go wrong taking the time to have invested in proper contractual documentation pays dividends.

It is also often a good point to take stock of the commercial relationship you are about to enter into and ensure you and the other party are on the same page in your expectations of each other.

Here are just a few examples of documents that we routinely draft:

• Heads of Terms / Memo of understanding – to provide clarity for your new ventures
• Commercial Contracts – to ensure your contracts reflect the terms agreed
• Shareholders Agreements – to protect your investment
• Term of Business – heading off disputes and protecting cashflow
• Non-disclosure Agreements – allowing you to explore opportunities with others
• Policies and Procedures – drafting. Updating, improving, and implementing

Tailored Information Sessions
We complement our other services with bespoke information sessions to support you in any area of your business where support is needed. These are highly practical sessions addressing the legal obligations and concerns of directors and shareholders.

• Our information sessions cover a wide range of subjects for example:
• The purpose and content of Board Minutes
• The impact of the Company’s Articles of Association
• Confidentiality in the Board Room
• Investigating an accident
• Documentation – how long do I need to retain it?
• NDAs – what is their value?
