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.

Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

Tagged solicitor Michael Feakes and Head of Commercial

Over the past 6 months I have had the legal support I needed from Michael Feakes. Michael keeps legal matters simple. He helped me with several contracts and updated our terms online. From the outset, I found Michael to be very knowledgeable and informative in the way he made sure he captured our requirements. He quickly gets to the point to ensure our legal documents are clear, concise, and most importantly – say what we mean. In summary I found Michael to be incredibly customer focussed delivering professional legal advice for a competitive price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Feakes & Co to any prospective client.
