A corporate transaction often involves buying and selling businesses (this could mean shares in a company or business and assets). Corporate transactions often involve elements of employment work, commercial property work, tax advice and corporate structural advice. Therefore Corporate lawyers need great project management skills.
Most businesses need some form of commercial contract. This could be a supply agreement if you supply goods and/or services, E-Commerce Terms and Conditions if you trade online or a shareholders’ agreement if you have more than one shareholder. The idea of a commercial contract is to protect your position in the event something goes wrong.
Most transactions we are involved with have an element of commercial property. This may involve the purchase of a large manufacturing plant by a pension scheme or the assignment of a small business lease. As commercial property holds a significant proportion of the value of any business, it is important to receive the best possible advice for your particular scenario.
Sometimes in business, people fall out. Being commercial lawyers, we find the best thing to do when there is a dispute is to tackle it head on and put the dispute to an end quickly and efficiently. This often results in a better solution than burying ones head in the sand in the hope the challenge will go away!
