Protecting your business
Having the right legal framework in place for your business is the only way to ensure that you, your business and your stakeholders are protected from the start.
Disputes are damaging and costly, so getting the right terms and conditions and business contracts in place, as well as reviewing any existing agreements, is essential to give you a solid foundation from which to start your business and avoid problems in the future.

Stakeholder agreements
A professionally drafted agreement between stakeholders setting out all parties expectations and detailing how the business will be run will protect your business from damaging disputes in the future. Our team of experts can help you put in place a shareholders’ agreement, articles of association, investment agreement, LLP agreement or general partnership agreement which will preserve the value of your business investment.
Director appointment & duties
A company relies on two bodies of people – its shareholders and its board of directors. Directors will manage the day-to-day affairs of the business having been appointed by shareholders. Regardless of whether you are running the company and holding all the shares yourself or you plan to appoint directors, it is important that you understand the legal duty directors have to the business. Our team of experts can advise on the appointments of directors, their duties and, in the event of any director dispute, how to resolve or remove a director.
Commercial agreements
As your business begins to trade with others its important to be clear on the agreed terms on which the business will trade. Our team of experts can assist with drafting standard terms and conditions as well as other commercial contracts including:
- Supply & distribution agreements
