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.

At a very stressful time Natalie Jones was an excellent source of support and knowledge. Her advice and swift action helped reduce my stress and work towards a solution of a family issue. I would highly recommend Natalie & Herringtons and would use straight away if required in the future.

Tagged solicitor Justin Emerson
The dispute related to an offending article was dealt with very efficiently indeed within a very short period of time by Mr Emerson resulting in a very positive result which was a great relief to me as I had initially thought it was going to be a very long drawn out dispute. Excellent.
