Buying or Selling a Business
Company and Business Formation
Whether you’re starting as a sole trader, entering into a partnership or forming a limited company, we’ll help you understand the best route forward.
Choosing the right structure from the outset is essential, regardless of your business size or sector and we’ll help you get it right from day one. We can guide you step-by-step through the formation process or simply provide clear direction so you can proceed independently with confidence. However much support you need, we’re here to assist.
Franchise Agreements
The advantages of owning your own business are obvious, but so too are the risks and that’s where franchises can be appealing. As a franchisee, you are taking less of a risk than starting your own business and failure rates are much lower in franchises than in SME’s generally. But it is important for you to fully understand the prospective liabilities and obligations that you are entering into.
We can advise you on all aspects of entering into a new franchise agreement.
Agricultural and Rural Businesses
Our commercial solicitors work with landowners, farmers and farming businesses using our experience of the countryside and agricultural law issues to provide you with the most relevant and up-to-date advice. We can support you with matters such as the purchase and sale of land, succession issues, family partnerships and lease agreements regarding telephone masts and renewable energy schemes.
Partnerships and Joint Ventures
Starting a partnership or joint venture can be an exciting step for your business—but getting the legal foundations right is essential to long-term success.
We advise on all aspects of partnership and joint venture formation, from choosing the right structure to drafting robust agreements that protect your interests. We work closely with you to define roles, responsibilities, profit-sharing arrangements and decision-making processes, ensuring alignment from the outset.
Our team also identifies potential risks and helps you implement safeguards so your business can adapt as it grows.
Shareholder Agreements
Our commercial lawyers can advise you on creating clear, effective shareholder agreements that protect your business and its owners. We advise on key issues such as ownership structure, share purchase and exit strategies, ensuring your agreement reflects your goals and minimises the risk of disputes. By tailoring each shareholder agreement to your specific needs, we help establish strong foundations for growth while ensuring full legal compliance.
Terms and Conditions
Keeping your company’s terms and conditions up to date is essential to protecting your business and reducing legal risk. Our experienced lawyers can review your existing terms and conditions in detail to ensure they are legally compliant, commercially effective and properly incorporated into every contract and transaction. We will identify any gaps, strengthen existing provisions and recommend new clauses where needed - helping you improve enforceability, minimise disputes and safeguard your business interests.
Business Finance
Share Incentive Schemes
Our lawyers provide expert advice on designing and implementing share incentive schemes that help your business attract, retain and motivate key employees. Whether you are considering HMRC tax-approved schemes or non tax-approved arrangements, we guide you through the legal and tax considerations to ensure compliance and maximise benefits.
