The law has an impact on almost every aspect of the operation of a business from start-ups to multinationals. From the set up of a business, the design and marketing of a new product, to the scope and terms of commercial agreements, the law provides the framework for business dealings.

Our commercial team comprises lawyers who specialise in advising on operational matters and commercial agreements across a wide range of sectors. We aim to add value by using our expertise and commercial awareness to assist clients in achieving their objectives in the most practical way. We work closely with other experts in the firm as required and are used to co-ordinating advice to provide an effective overall legal solution.

A number of our lawyers have spent time as in-house counsel which provides us with an enhanced understanding of the issues affecting our clients. We also have considerable experience of advising on inward investment and the establishment of businesses in the UK.

Our expertise covers:

• Commercial terms and contracts
• Intellectual property
• Technology
• Outsourcing
• Data protection
• e-business
