When starting a new business, this work area covers the practical steps from initial planning to legal set‑up, including choosing a business structure, company formation, director duties, and the creation of employment contracts and staff policies. A solicitor drafts and reviews founder agreements, share schemes, non‑disclosure agreements, and key corporate documents, and advises on compliance with employment and discrimination law as the business begins hiring. It also covers how to handle staff transitions if the business grows or changes hands.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor will set up the essential governance and compliance framework for a new entity, including drafting founder and shareholder agreements, employment contracts, and staff policies; advising on director duties and corporate formalities; and preparing protective agreements such as NDAs and restrictive covenants to manage risk as the team expands.

Very pleased with how Fiona Colwell and her team handled my employment related matter. They were very Professional and thorough with attention to details. Her knowledgeable advice resulted in a waiver of the restriction in my contract. Am sure to use their services in future and strongly recommend them.
