This area covers the commercial work businesses need to run and grow in England, including drafting and negotiating contracts, reviewing supplier and customer terms, advising on company structures and governance, and supporting corporate finance, IP licensing, and commercial disputes. A solicitor in this field helps secure contracts, manage risk, and navigate relevant English law and practice, from incorporation to dissolution, with recourse to English courts or alternative dispute resolution where needed.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Solicitors draft, review and negotiate key commercial documents such as terms and conditions, supply and distribution agreements, service contracts, and shareholder or article documents. They conduct due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, advise on corporate governance and regulatory compliance, and manage disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or court proceedings in England.
