For You – Legal Services for Business

We advise on all aspects of non contentious commercial matters for a wide variety of companies, partnerships and institutions based in the City and the South East of England as well as overseas companies.

We build lasting relationships to deliver exactly the services needed for your business to grow and thrive in all phases of development – start up, expansion, financing, relocation and sales and mergers.

We advise professional firms in connection with professional regulation and insurance and work with joint ventures and property partnerships.

We specialise in acting for development and investment companies and property professionals including architects, surveyors, engineers and estate agents and managing agents.

Commercial Disputes

If you are involved in bringing or defending a court or tribunal action we will provide support and give pragmatic advice to develop solutions that suit you and give you the best options and outcomes for your situation.

We have experience in dealing with internal and external fraud and cyber crime and offer investigation and advice services to provide and test audit controls and procedures.

We can act for claimants and defendants in professional negligence matters.

We commonly deal with lease termination and renewal issues for landlords and tenants of shops and offices.

Contracts and Agreements

We help clients before they make agreements and contracts. Much of the time routine terms are accepted by clients without detailed consideration but then where finance or important services are involved or where the implications if things go wrong are serious, the small print is important. So drafting terms for companies and advising business owners or enforcing consumer rights are matters where our experience and expertise can be brought to bear for lasting benefit.

Employment Law

Employment law is in a constant state of change and establishing your rights may not always be straightforward so we will offer practical advice and options to enable you to find the solution best suited to your situation.

We advise on compromise agreements and offer representation on applications to the Employment Tribunal.

Professional Relationships, Trusts and Charities

We are experienced advisers in regulatory matters and offer legal advice to boards and trustees on a paid and in some cases (pro bono) on an unpaid basis. We assist with business planning and audit. We can offer expert advice services in property litigation matters that come before the courts.

With the increase in computer technology the opportunity for cyber fraud is growing exponentially and we can offer specialised advice to assist with planning, audit and investigation.
