Starting Up?

We can assist your new business by helping draft your business agreements, or by providing you with a contract of employment for any staff you may engage.

Your bank may also require you to provide a guarantee or other security in respect of any loan or overdraft facility you may require. We are happy to advise you on the legal implications of any such documents.

Perhaps you may be considering renting business premises, in which case we will review your proposed lease conditions, advise you on them and seek to negotiate any alterations which may be needed.

We can also advise you on your contractual rights and obligations when buying in goods and services.

If you need a licence to supply alcohol, provide late night refreshment or provide entertainment, we can help you with that too.

As your business develops

We can also advise you on the legal aspects of any issues concerning the employment of your staff and provide you with legal representation if you need it.

We can also help you if any contractual disputes should arise with your customers or suppliers and help collect unpaid debts. We can also assist with the legal side of renewing your lease.

Our Service

Although we have a long history and a tradition of excellence, we have a vibrant practice with enthusiastic and approachable staff.

We talk the language of business and understand the need for the prompt delivery of legal services in an intelligible and cost-effective manner. We aim to deliver a professional yet friendly service.

Our Charges

We have a straightforward charging policy so that you know in advance how much any piece of legal advice will cost. We are always happy to discuss your legal needs without obligation and what our fees will be to service those needs.

Why not phone or e-mail our Small Business team? We will be delighted to hear from you.

Something for nothing

Yes, you read it right!

We are confident in the service we can provide you.

Why not try us for your debt-collecting? If your customer pays up in response to our first letter, we will not charge you a fee.
