In the event of internal disputes or external claims, we offer practical and assertive representation through mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings.

Key Features:

1.     Company Formation & Structuring
We provide comprehensive legal support for launching companies in the UK, starting with selecting the optimal structure whether limited company, partnership, or LLP. We assist with Companies House registration, drafting of incorporation documents, share allocation, and compliance planning. Our goal is to ensure that businesses are built on a strong legal foundation aligned with growth strategies and investor expectations.

2.     Commercial Contract Drafting
Our solicitors craft bespoke contracts across sectors, ensuring clarity, legal sufficiency, and commercial viability. We focus on minimizing ambiguity and reducing liability by tailoring terms to our clients' business models, risk profiles, and sector standards. Whether it’s a supply agreement or strategic joint venture, our contracts are built to last and to protect.

3.     Shareholder & Director Advisory
We advise on director duties, shareholder rights, governance conflicts, and succession planning. Our firm prepares tailored shareholder agreements, voting frameworks, drag-along/tag-along clauses, and director indemnities that reduce ambiguity in the boardroom and create transparency in corporate decision-making. These safeguards help future-proof your organisation against internal disputes.

4.     Business Dispute Resolution
Commercial disputes can threaten business continuity. We offer legal strategies for contract breaches, partnership breakdowns, and commercial torts. Our team pursues resolution through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or court whichever route protects your interest best. We keep resolution timelines, reputational risk, and legal costs front of mind in every strategy.

5.     Cross-Border Legal Support
Global expansion requires more than translation it needs legal translation of jurisdictions. We advise international clients entering the UK on employment compliance, intellectual property registration, tax status, and corporate filings. For UK clients operating abroad, we coordinate with foreign counsel to streamline setup and regulatory filings across borders.
