Sound advice.

Our Business Team offers a level of specialist expertise normally only found in major commercial centres. We specialise in a wide range of business matters, advising clients from sole traders and family firms to public companies. Our advice is based on an understanding of the nature of each client’s needs and their particular requirements.

Setting up a business

When setting up a business we will assist at the outset by advising on the appropriate business structure, whether it be sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership or company and in the preparation, where necessary, of partnership and shareholders agreements.

Acquisitions and Disposals

We advise on business acquisitions and disposals. Clients will benefit from our experience in management buyouts, share sales and purchases, franchise agreements and business restructuring arrangements.

Occupation and Commercial Premises

We provide advice on all aspects relating to the use and occupation of commercial premises including the negotiation and renewal of leases.

The need often arises for carefully worded contracts and agreements to be prepared and we are able to deal with these. We can also advise on trading terms and conditions that are appropriate to the client’s business.
