Advice to businesses
We advise large and small businesses operating in all sectors.
Our team is led by Chris Thomson, Simon Ratcliffe and Neil Walmsley, all of whom are recommended by independent legal directories as amongst the best lawyers in the region. Those recommendations are based entirely on feedback from business clients, who say that working with Chris “is like talking to a company director”, that he “is tremendously helpful and handles himself well in all situations” and that “his aftercare is exceptional.” Neil’s clients say that he “provides a City service at sensible rates” and have “complete confidence in Neil and would not hesitate to use him again for deals.”
The team also includes solicitor Mark Daly and Andrew Cooper. Clients say that they “always put in the extra work, communicate well with each other and demonstrate an understanding of where we are trying to get to”.
Examples of recent advice include:
• |
Preparation of Documentation for use by clients, ranging from simple terms and conditions of trade through international franchising agreements to policy wordings for insurers; |
• |
Partnership Agreements for Dentists, Doctors and other professionals; |
• |
