Our team of specialist commercial solicitors provide legal support to clients in relation to commercial issues on an ongoing basis, but also advise on particular issues of critical importance and allow planning for any future contingency. Our priority is to ensure that we understand the business of our clients so that our advice can be give quickly and cost-effectively.

Our corporate lawyers can help to set out clearly the terms of business which have been agreed with customers, suppliers and other parties, to deal with issues of particular complexity and risk, and to provide protection if things go wrong. We can advise on all documentation required to reflect the terms of the contractual and commercial arrangements of a business, including agency, distribution, supply, services and consultancy agreements.

Our lawyers also provide advice on

  • intellectual property;
  • branding;
  • data protection;
  • agency and distribution arrangements;
  • sponsorship; and
  • franchising.

Our solicitors have particular commercial expertise in the sports sector, where we advise businesses on all issues, including image rights, merchandising and sponsorship, and in the technology/IT sector, where we advise on anything from outsourcing of specific IT functions or applications, the drafting of technology agreements, or on all aspects of establishing and running websites.
