Advice On Corporate Structure And Company Formation

Having the right corporate structure in place will ensure that your enterprise has a robust framework to take on the work that you want as well as the flexibility to make changes over time as your business evolves.

We can discuss the available options and go through the benefits of each with you, checking that you have the right set-up for your operation.

We will draft the necessary formation documentation, such as articles of association, shareholder agreements or partnership agreements, setting out how you and your fellow business owners will operate your business and the rights and responsibilities each individual will have.

Advice On And Drafting Corporate Agreements

We will work with you to establish the details of the corporate and commercial agreements you want to enter into. Robust contracts are the basis of good business relationships and will not only protect your interests but reduce the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.

We draft all types of corporate and commercial agreements as well as advising on contracts that you have been offered. Where necessary, we can negotiate on your behalf to improve the terms and conditions and ensure that the document is in your best interests.

Debt recovery

Late payment can be both time-consuming and damaging to businesses. We can represent you in seeking payment of debts, aiming to handle this out of court wherever possible. We can also review your payment terms and conditions and offer advice on credit control and the payment options that you are offering to debtors.

Corporate Dispute Resolution

Legal disputes are disruptive and, in the worst case, can mean the end of a business. We deal with both internal disagreements and disputes with suppliers, clients, customers and others.

We know how important it is to resolve matters promptly to free you up to return to working on your business. We can provide pragmatic advice and suggest ways of resolving matters promptly and without the need for litigation. This includes considering alternative methods of dispute resolution such as mediation, arbitration and early neutral evaluation if negotiation is not enough.

If a dispute cannot be resolved out of court, we will put together a strong case on your behalf for litigation.
