Top 10 of 371 law firms for R&D, Commercial and Business Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

R&D covers negative and positive steps around research and development activities, including identifying eligible projects, claiming reliefs, and documenting costs for tax purposes. A solicitor in this area typically reviews project costs, personnel time, software, and subcontracted work to determine eligibility for schemes such as the R&D tax relief and related allowances, drafts the supporting documentation, and coordinates with the finance team and HMRC as claims are prepared and submitted. This work can shape a company’s ability to reinvest in innovation and to demonstrate compliance with the qualifying criteria for reliefs.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles qualifying and disqualifying costs, aligns project accounting with relief criteria, negotiates with HMRC on complex claims, and addresses potential audit issues. They interpret the rules governing eligible expenditure, subcontractor treatment, and capex versus revenue spend, and they ensure protection through professional indemnity insurance and regulatory accountability.

Excellent professional service throughout. At times a complex and involved negotiation. I was very pleased that Vernon Clarke and Laura Kendall were acting for me and not the third party.

Ian Lomax

Tagged solicitor Ian Lomax

I used this firm for support on an issue related to overseas worker contracts. I cannot praise my solicitor highly enough. He was responsive, prompt to respond, clear with instructions and advice, and took time to ensure I understood clauses and amendments and the implications of certain changes. You will be in good hands with this firm and in particular with Mr Lomax. Thank you. Highly recommended. Angela Taylor - Atava
