The work, in plain terms.
Incorporation and corporate structuring
Setting a company up so that it does not need unpicking in three years' time.
Shareholders' agreements and constitutions
What happens if a founder leaves, if the parties fall out, or if someone wants to sell. Almost every shareholder dispute we see could have been shortened by a document written while everyone was still on good terms.
Commercial contracts
Supply, distribution, services, agency and licensing agreements. Drafted, reviewed and negotiated, with the risk allocation explained in plain terms.
Mergers, acquisitions and business sales
Sale and purchase agreements, due diligence and completion.
Banking, finance and securities
Facility agreements, security documents, debentures and guarantees. These documents are weighted towards the lender by default, and personal guarantees in particular deserve a careful read before signature.
Intellectual property
Trade marks, copyright, confidential information, and the intellectual property terms buried inside commercial agreements. If your business creates something of value, the contract should say who owns it.
Corporate governance and directors' duties
What a director is actually required to do, and the personal exposure that follows from getting it wrong.
