Small businesses work covers practical commercial advice and representation for owners of small and growing companies, partnerships and startups in England. A solicitor in this area helps with forming and structuring a business, drafting and negotiating essential contracts, handling day‑to‑day commercial queries, raising finance, protecting intellectual property, and managing disputes or exits. It also includes advising on employment terms, director duties and compliance with company law, consumer rights, and regulatory requirements. The work matters because clear contracts, proper governance, and risk control support reliable growth and prevent costly disputes.
A solicitor for small businesses handles the complexity of starting up and growing a business: drafting formation documents, shareholders’ and director’s service agreements, supplier and customer contracts, and terms of trade; advising on employment matters and staff handbooks; negotiating leases or licences for premises; valuing and protecting intellectual property; ensuring compliance with company and competition law; and guiding dispute resolution, equipment or debt recovery, and restructures. These tasks involve specific statutory provisions, court or tribunal procedures, and interactions with bodies such as Companies House and the Insolvency Service when needed.

Tagged solicitor David Morgan
The first firm of solicitors who I feel are one step ahead of me, not ten behind! I used Beswicks some years ago for conveyancing transactions, the communication and advice was good then. Some years later I returned to the corporate law department for support with a business purchase and ongoing legal support. The communication at Beswicks is excellent and their ability to crossover multiple specialist sectors was vital for the transaction I was involved with. There's a lot of great people I have encountered at Beswicks but a special mention has to go out to David Morgan. During a hectic and stressful period, I felt I was David's only client and he was always available at the end of the phone. Following the transaction he was there to advise and assist with all aspects of the business and he has my utmost trust. Beswicks are not the cheapest and will not be for everyone. However for me, where I value speed, communication, quality of advice and trusting those operating in my interest, they are the perfect fit. Thank you Alistair Trippett Heywoods (1881) Estate Agents

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.

Tagged solicitor Carl Wright
I found Hopkins excellent. Carl Wright was approachable, easy to talk to and understanding. My case involved unusual work activity, but he learned about it quickly and made me feel he really wanted to do the best for me. He showed care at frustrating and distressing times during my legal claim, but was also realistic and helpful with his advise. I never met him directly over the 2 1/2 years my case took, but I felt I knew him and he knew me.

Being a builder/developer, I find it very useful to be able to work with your firm on a retainer basis, being able to consult with a solicitor as and when the need arises.
