Running Your Business
Practical Legal Solutions for Managing and Growing Your Business
Once you're up and running, the focus shifts to compliance, governance, and protecting your business from avoidable risk. We help you put the right legal frameworks in place — so you can concentrate on your customers and your growth.
Three Pillars of a Well-Run Business
Every business operates within a framework of laws and regulations. Failing to comply can lead to fines, investigations, disputes, and reputational damage. We can help you understand and manage your obligations under tax and company law, consumer protection and fair trading laws, health and safety requirements, privacy and data protection rules, and industry-specific regulations.
Our role is to explain your obligations in plain language, identify practical steps to comply, and assist if something does go wrong.
If you employ staff, employment law becomes a central part of running your business. Getting it right early can prevent costly and stressful disputes later. We can assist with:
- Drafting compliant employment agreements (individual and collective)
- Policies and handbooks (performance, conduct, health and safety, flexible work)
- Resolving employment issues such as performance concerns, restructures, and disciplinary matters
- Managing exits, including settlement agreements and negotiated departures
We work to support fair, lawful processes that respect both your business needs and your obligations as an employer.
Contracts underpin most business relationships — with customers, suppliers, landlords, contractors, and others. Poorly drafted or unclear contracts are a common source of disputes. We can help you prepare or review key contracts including terms of trade, supply and distribution agreements, service and outsourcing contracts, and confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.
We include clear provisions on price, payment, delivery, service levels, liability, termination, and dispute resolution. We can also enforce your rights under existing contracts or negotiate an exit where necessary.
Our focus is on contracts that are legally sound, but also workable and proportionate for the size and nature of your business.
