Commercial Law

Commercial Contracts

We regularly draw up and advise on business contracts under which, for example, organisations sell their products or services, obtain their supplies, buy services, have products made, engage specialist consultants, agents or distributors.

We advise on digital, internet-based arrangements, including contracts for website design and hosting as well as agreements setting out website linking, advertising, and hosting arrangements. We also advise on more traditional software and application licensing. We are able to advise you on your supply agreements to ensure that your interests remain protected.

Charity Law

Our commercial team has a wealth of experience on providing practical advice on both day to day commercial charity matters and specific commercial charity projects. We will work closely with you to gain an insight into your organisation in order to deliver advice and practical solutions tailored to what you want to achieve.

Employee Incentives

Share option schemes including Enterprise Management Incentive (EMIs) schemes, Company Share Option Plans (CSOPs), growth in value share schemes and phantom share schemes can offer businesses a powerful, potentially tax-advantaged way to reward and retain valuable employees while ensuring their interests are aligned with the growth of the business.

We advise on all kinds of employee incentive schemes and deliver personalised support throughout the entire process, from determining which kind of scheme will be right for your business, preparing documentation and ensuring everything gets signed. To keep things simple, we will also liaise with your chosen tax advisers or suggest tax advisers you can use to obtain a valuation, secure HMRC clearance, and ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements.

Terms and Conditions

We review and prepare terms and conditions for the supply of goods and/or services. A robust set of standard terms and conditions are the key terms on which your company will do business – so it is essential to get them right and that they are kept up to date.

Outsourcing and Insourcing

Outsourcing can bring significant benefits to your organisation , but it must be undertaken only after careful planning, for the right reasons, and supported by a robust, well-drafted contract following a thorough negotiation.

We have worked with both private and public sector organisations outsourcing and insourcing services including IT, security, haulage, grounds maintenance, health & safety, and HR services.
