Legal services for business owners

Advice and legal work across the areas a business and its owners need most.

Who we act for

Business owners, the companies they run, and the families behind them.

Founders and owner-managers

The people who built the business and carry its risk. We handle the contracts, deals and disputes that come with running it.

Company directors

Advice on directors' duties, board decisions, shareholder relationships and the personal liability that can come with the role.

Startups and scale-ups

Founders' agreements, investment rounds, customer contracts and intellectual property for companies that are growing.

Property owners and landlords

Buying, selling and letting commercial and residential property, and resolving the disputes that arise from it.

Employers

Employment contracts, policies, disciplinary matters, redundancies and settlement agreements.

Individuals and families

Wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate and trusts, including planning for what happens to a business when its owner dies.

How we work

One solicitor takes your instructions, does the work, and is the person you call. Before anything starts you have the scope and the cost in writing.

The first call is free

We find out what has happened, tell you whether we can help, and say what the next step would cost.

A fixed fee or an estimate

You get the scope in writing, with either a fixed price for a defined piece of work or an estimate based on time, and the likely total.

Advice you can act on

We explain where you stand, set out your options with their likely cost and risk, and tell you what we would do in your position.

Cost weighed against outcome

Before you commit to a course of action we compare the likely cost, time and risk with what you stand to gain, including when a dispute is better settled.

You hear it first

Matters change direction. When that moves the price, we come back to you before carrying on.
