Today’s rapid pace of change in business provides both increased opportunities and also challenges. A successful business requires input from its lawyers which is not only fast and accurate but which also demonstrates business acumen and an astute perception of the commercial realities which the business faces.
Our approach is therefore to:
- Provide legal advice which reflects the situation of your business rather than a ‘one size fits all attitude
- Use sound commercial judgement in the legal and business solutions we recommend to you
- Ensure that we think ahead for you and advise on the legal implications of anything you propose
- Help to prevent disputes arising
- Get to know you and your business so that our advice takes into account not only where you are now, but also any forward planning for the future
Some of the typical areas in which we provide advice and support to our business clients include:
- Business start ups and funding
- Company mergers, acquisitions and sales
- Management buy-outs and buy-ins
- Joint ventures/partnerships
- Business restructuring/raising of capital
- Directors’ responsibilities
- Shareholders’ agreements
- Professional partnership agreements
- Commercial contracts, e.g. agency, franchise, distributorship
- Terms and conditions of business
- Employment law
You can benefit from our strong, established relationships with the professional network in Leeds and West Yorkshire and, naturally, we can introduce you to other specialists within the firm as appropriate.
