Commercial & Business Agreements
Drafting and review of supply, distribution, services, agency, and bespoke commercial agreements that meet the client's commercial needs.
Company formation, commercial agreements, governance, and the structures that businesses need to operate cleanly.
The firm has built deep experience in commercial and business law, with the Managing Partner contributing more than eight years of focused expertise to this practice. The work covers the documents and structures that businesses live and die by — agreements, registrations, governance frameworks, and ownership arrangements.
Our brief is to make sure the paperwork reflects the commercial intention, the registration is clean, and the structure holds up when it is later put under pressure. Where the matter requires it, the practice works alongside our litigation team to make sure positions taken on paper can be defended in court.
Drafting and review of supply, distribution, services, agency, and bespoke commercial agreements that meet the client's commercial needs.
End-to-end company incorporation, registration of business names, partnerships, and the supporting statutory filings.
Drafting, review, and amendment of memoranda and articles of association, with advice on the implications for governance and shareholder rights.
Board procedure, directors' duties, shareholder relations, and the standing disciplines that distinguish a well-run company.
Legal opinions and advisory on institutional, governance, and ownership structures for corporates, family businesses, and joint ventures.
The day-to-day questions that sit between formal instructions — contracts to sign, decisions to minute, structures to refine.
A four-step discipline applied to every brief, so the work is senior-led at the points where senior judgement matters, and moves predictably between them.
Partner-led intake. We agree the commercial objective and the engagement letter before drafting begins.
Documents prepared or reviewed against the commercial brief, with clear written advice on any structural choices the client needs to make.
Statutory registration, filings, and consents pursued to a closed and properly recorded conclusion.
Standing advisory on the day-to-day matters between formal instructions — amendments, opinions, and governance questions as they arise.
The ones we hear most often. For anything specific to your matter, a short call is usually the fastest way to an answer.
All firm FAQs →Yes. We handle incorporation end-to-end — name reservation, memorandum and articles, registration with the Business Registration Service, and the post-incorporation filings — typically within 5–10 working days where documentation is in order.
We do. The review focuses on whether the constitutional documents fit the way the company actually operates today — shareholder rights, decision-making thresholds, transfer restrictions, and the practical points that come up when things change.
Yes. We advise on holding-company arrangements, share class structures, family councils, and the kind of governance disciplines that allow a family business to outlast the founding generation.
Yes. The advantage of a senior-led firm is continuity. If a commercial arrangement we drafted later becomes contested, the same partner who advised on the structure will be involved in defending it.
We will tell you, plainly, whether we are the right firm, and how we would propose to handle it. The first call is confidential and at no charge.
