Commercial and Business Law

Are you a business owner looking for straightforward, commercial legal advice from a lawyer who speaks your language? We understand that you would rather be running your business than talking to lawyers about tiny details that don't add to your bottom line.  

We provide practical legal advice on all matters which affect your business on a daily basis to help you prevent or minimise future problems.  

We are straight talking and pragmatic and won't use a load of jargon when all you want to know is what to do and how much it will cost.  We will advise you to put important matters in writing so there can't be misunderstandings later and you and your customer, supplier or employees will know where they stand.

If you're about to sign a contract of any kind, it would be sensible to make sure it will stand up in Court if a dispute does arise. We can review the contract and explain how the law applies and make sure that the contract means what you intend it to mean and that there are no unexpected or unwelcome terms implied by law which may come as a nasty surprise later.

We also understand that there needs to be a balance between covering every conceivable risk and ensuring that costs are proportionate to the client and the business needs and that your main concern is to get your new agreement in place quickly so that you can get on with business.
