Businesses FAQs

Here are answers to some common questions about our legal services for Businesses.

What types of businesses do you work with?

We advise a diverse range of clients, from startups and SMEs to established corporations and partnerships. Our strategic approach is scalable, meaning we can tailor our legal solutions to the specific operational needs, risks, and commercial objectives of your business, regardless of its size or sector.

Do you offer retained legal services for ongoing support?

es. Many businesses require consistent legal counsel without the overhead of an in-house team. We can structure retained service agreements to provide ongoing support for day-to-day matters such as contract reviews, HR issues, and regulatory compliance, ensuring you have immediate access to expert advice.

How can legal advice help my business grow?

Proactive legal advice is an investment in stability. By ensuring your corporate structure is sound, your intellectual property is protected, and your contracts are robust, we create a secure foundation for growth. This minimises the risk of costly disputes and regulatory fines that can derail expansion.

When should I involve a lawyer in a commercial dispute?

Ideally, as soon as a dispute arises or appears likely. Early intervention allows us to assess your position, preserve evidence, and often resolve the matter through negotiation or mediation before it escalates to costly court proceedings.

Can you assist with international business matters?

Yes. We advise on cross-border data protection, international trade contracts, and immigration for sponsoring overseas staff. For matters requiring local jurisdiction in other countries, we can coordinate with foreign counsel to ensure your global interests are protected.

What is the difference between a shareholder agreement and Articles of Association?

Articles of Association are a public document required by law that sets out the general rules for running the company. A shareholder agreement is a private contract between the owners that deals with specific rights, exit strategies, and dispute resolution. We recommend having both to fully protect your interests.

How do you handle commercial debt recovery?

We take a firm, pragmatic approach. We start with formal letters of claim and statutory demands, which are often sufficient to prompt payment. If the debt remains unpaid, we initiate court proceedings or insolvency measures, always weighing the cost of recovery against the likelihood of success.

Why are written contracts essential for business dealings?

Written contracts provide certainty. They clearly define deliverables, payment terms, and liabilities, reducing the scope for misunderstanding. Relying on verbal agreements or "handshake deals" exposes your business to significant risk if the relationship breaks down.

How can I protect my business’s Intellectual Property (IP)?

Protection strategies vary by asset. We assist with registering trademarks and patents for formal protection. For assets like trade secrets and know-how, we draft robust confidentiality agreements (NDAs) and employment clauses to prevent data theft and unauthorised use.

What are my obligations regarding data protection?

All UK businesses processing personal data must comply with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. This involves transparency, security, and accountability. We audit your data practices and draft necessary privacy policies to ensure you avoid heavy fines and reputational damage.
