service that combines thorough and comprehensive legal advice
with the ability to act swiftly and adhere to the strict
deadlines often imposed by commercial transactions. We have
considerable experience in all aspects of Commercial Law
and have acted in local, national and world-wide dealings.
Our investment in modern technology guarantees that we can
communicate instantaneously with all parties involved with

whether you are a sole trader, partnership or limited company.
Forming a new business
We will advise on the respective advantages and disadvantages
of trading as a Sole Trader, Partnership or Limited Company.
We will liase closely with your accountant and guide you
through the initial start-up period.
We can provide you with a Partnership Agreement to define
the rights and duties of the parties involved or can assist
in the formation of your new company. We will ensure that
all facets of your business are supported including staff
contracts and the purchase or leasing of your business premises.
Business Sales and Purchases
The sale or purchase of a company is, understandably, a
complex matter which requires detailed documentation to be
prepared and vast amounts of information at be investigated,
analysed and presented. The potential subsequent risks for
both Purchaser and Vendor can be substantial and far-reaching
unless all aspects of the transaction are carried out in
a thorough and meticulousness manner. We are confident that
we deliver a high quality service even whilst working to
urgent deadlines.
When acting for the purchaser we will ensure that the terms
that have been negotiated are implemented and subsequently
protected by the inclusion of appropriate warranties and
indemnities. We shall carry out due diligence and ensure
that all matters are fully investigated so that the Purchaser
can enter into the transaction with a complete understanding
of any potential risks that may not have been immediately
apparent during negotiations between the parties.
When acting for the Vendor we shall assist you in assembling
all the materials that shall be required to reply to the
Purchaser’s due diligence enquiries. We will review
the documentation forwarded to us by the Purchaser’s
solicitor and amend this to make certain that we safeguard
your position. We will liase closely with you and make all
necessary revisions to ensure that the Purchaser does not
seek to impose onerous warranties or indemnities.
Commercial Premises
Whether you wish to purchase or rent your premises we shall
ensure that your property is suitable for your purpose.
Purchase of Premises
Commercial Property can be a lucrative investment. It is
therefore vital that the premises have a sound legal title
that will not place onerous covenants or restrictions upon
you nor affect your access to the property. We will ensure
that the Vendor has met all statutory obligations. We will
also investigate the planning permission to confirm that
the premises will adequately meet your business’ needs.
Commercial Leases
There are many advantages to leasing as opposed to buying
premises. We act on behalf of both prospective Tenants and
Landlords and realise that each has different requirements
and objectives when entering into a Lease. We can aid in
the negotiation of favourable terms and produce a Lease that
is specifically tailored to your business requirements. We
will advise in relation to service charges; rent reviews;
break clauses; apportionment and many other aspects of your
lease.
Contracts of Employment
One of the most important aspects of any business is the
successful management of employees. We can provide you with
Contracts of Employment for all levels of staff and ensure
that our proactive approach prevents difficulties before
they arise.
Housing Development
We have considerable experience in the purchase of development
land and the subsequent sale of the resultant homes. We pride
ourselves on our speedy and thorough approach to this type
of work and feel that our long-standing relationship with
prominent local builders supports this.
Option Agreements
We are experienced in advising on and drafting options on
land and properties for either party involved.
