Commercial / Business Law Solicitors

  • Corporate law: Advising on company formation, governance, and directorial duties.
  • Mergers & acquisitions: Structuring deals, conducting due diligence, and negotiating sale or purchase agreements.
  • Commercial litigation: Resolving disputes in court, from breach of contract to corporate litigation involving complex financial claims.
  • Business disputes: Addressing conflicts between partners, suppliers, or clients—often through negotiation or mediation.
  • Shareholder disputes: Handling disagreements over dividends, voting rights, or alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
  • Debt recovery and collection: Recovering unpaid invoices, managing insolvency-related actions, or advising on restructuring strategies.
  • Tax: Ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations and minimising liabilities through careful planning.
  • Business bankruptcy & corporate insolvency: Navigating liquidation, administration, or voluntary arrangements when a company faces financial distress.
  • Fraud: Investigating allegations of financial misconduct and defending companies against fraud claims.

A commercial solicitor can:

  • Draft and negotiate contracts: Creating clear, enforceable agreements that protect your business interests.
  • Offer strategic advice: Guiding you on compliance, growth strategies, and risk management to avoid costly legal pitfalls.
  • Represent you in disputes: Whether in court, arbitration, or settlement talks, advocating for a resolution that aligns with your commercial objectives.
  • Facilitate transactions: Handling due diligence, regulatory filings, and post-deal integration for M&A or corporate restructuring.

Costs vary widely, depending on the complexity and scope of the matter. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £500, especially for senior or specialist solicitors. Some firms offer fixed fees for routine tasks—like drafting straightforward contracts—while more complex litigation or high-value deals may involve higher fees and longer timelines. An initial consultation—often free or discounted—can clarify your options, estimate expenses, and help you plan the right legal approach for your business needs.

Commercial or business law in the UK encompasses a wide range of legal issues that arise in a commercial setting—whether you’re running a small business or overseeing a multinational corporation. From forming companies and negotiating contracts to resolving disputes and managing insolvency, commercial law solicitors offer strategic advice to protect your interests and help your business thrive.
