What types of businesses do you represent?
We represent small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) on a wide range of corporate matters, from drafting single agreements to serving as ongoing legal counsel.
What should be included in bespoke terms of business?
Well-structured terms establish transparency, clearly define expectations, set out legal responsibilities, and outline risk management strategies tailored specifically to your company.
How do service agreements protect long-term business relationships?
By clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and payment terms, service agreements prevent misunderstandings and build strong, dependable foundations for both parties.
What do goods agreements cover under UK commercial law?
When buying, selling, or distributing goods, these agreements fully cover terms of delivery, payment schedules, legal liability, and product warranties to protect your supply chain.
How can I resolve a business dispute without damaging my company's reputation?
We provide practical advice on contract terms, adjudication, mediation, and litigation to resolve conflicts early and protect your reputation.
Can a small business instruct a commercial solicitor for a one-off issue?
Yes. A commercial solicitor can assist with a single agreement or dispute as well as ongoing advice. We can discuss what support is proportionate to your business needs.
Can you act as our external legal team without us employing an in-house lawyer?
External legal support can be arranged for recurring contract and business issues. Scope, availability and charges would be agreed in advance.
What can I do when a business customer refuses to pay an invoice?
Check the contract, invoice and correspondence, and raise the issue promptly. Options may include a formal demand, negotiation or recovery proceedings, depending on the debt and any genuine dispute.
What should I do if business partners or shareholders fall out?
Preserve relevant documents and review any shareholder or partnership agreement before taking steps. Early advice can help identify negotiation, exit and dispute-resolution options.
When should I ask a solicitor to review my business terms and conditions?
A review is sensible when you launch, change products or services, start trading with new customer types, or encounter repeated payment or liability disputes.
Can a commercial dispute be resolved without going to court?
Often parties can explore direct negotiation, mediation or another agreed process. The appropriate route depends on the dispute, contract and urgency.
How long does it take to prepare new business terms?
Timing depends on the complexity of the business model, documents available and rounds of feedback. We can provide an estimate once the scope is clear.
What should I send you before our first commercial law consultation?
A short summary of your objective, relevant contracts, correspondence, key deadlines and the names of other parties will help us assess your enquiry.
Can you give a fixed fee for commercial legal work?
For a clearly scoped piece of work a fixed fee may be possible; for uncertain or contentious work another pricing arrangement may be more appropriate. We will explain the proposed basis before work begins.
