Frequently asked

Common questions.

A starting point only. Every matter is different. Book a chat and we will give you advice tailored to your circumstances.

  • Always. Commercial leases bind you for years and contain make-good, outgoings and option clauses that can cost tens of thousands if misunderstood.

  • Yes. We draft tailored contracts, shareholder agreements and terms of trade, and we will also review and negotiate the other side's draft.

  • Alternative Dispute Resolution covers mediation, conciliation and arbitration. It is faster and cheaper than court and resolves the great majority of commercial disputes.
