Astute advice that keeps risk at bay and your goals at the forefront.
Freedom to focus on your business
Commercial agreements are essential but can be very time-consuming and complex. We help to relieve the burden of preparing and managing them and ensure they help you to mitigate risk while reflecting the realities of you and your market. This leaves you free to focus on running and growing your business.
Exactly the right support for you
Every business has different needs, so our service is completely flexible. We’ll become an extension of your team and provide support however suits you best. Whether you need help negotiating contract terms for major projects, a sounding board for day-to-day queries or advice on data protection compliance, we’re here for you.
Whatever your business, we can help
We act for a wide variety of clients, from well-known brands to emerging start-ups, providing each with the same dedicated support and pragmatic advice. The sectors we cover include technology, manufacturing, retail, leisure and professional services, including charities and public sector organisations such as schools. In today’s increasingly digital world, where artificial intelligence (AI) and tech solutions are transforming businesses, we can guide you through critical issues such as data privacy (GDPR), liability, and intellectual property.

Perhaps you’re introducing new products, suppliers or marketing activities or changing your services. Whatever your plans or challenges, our team has the in-depth knowledge and practical experience to provide the insight and protection you need.
