Corporate law
We support your company from its incorporation to its transfer, and at every decision that matters in between.

Ten practice areas, one and the same logic.
Supporting you day to day rather than stepping in when it is urgent. Advice first, litigation if it comes to that.

Securing before repairing.
Advice first, litigation when it becomes necessary. A practice designed for the region’s SMEs and their advisers.

Articles, shareholders, taxTax law
Tax is not something you simply endure, it is worked out before you decide. We put figures on the options while there is still time to choose.

The lease, the goodwill, the networksBusiness goodwill and commercial leases
The lease is often the trader’s first asset, and their first source of dispute. We are involved at signature, not only at notice to quit.

Your contracts and your general terms set the balance of power with your partners. Better that you should be the one writing them.

Employment contracts, trade marks, dataEmployment law
We advise the employer at the moment the decision is taken, to spare them having to defend it three years later.

Your trade mark, your files and your software often weigh more than your walls. Provided you own them.

Preparing the sale, dealing with difficultyBusiness sales and restructuring
A business sells well when it has been prepared months in advance. That is where the price is decided, not at signature.

The earlier the file is opened, the more the director keeps control of the business. We far prefer prevention to proceedings.

Before the courts, before the governing bodiesCommercial litigation
When negotiation has failed, the trial remains. We prepare it with the same rigour as the advice that preceded it.
See the dedicated pageSports law
Clubs, athletes and organisers are governed by rules of their own, where the disciplinary body counts as much as the court.
See the dedicated pageHow we work
Listen, cost, act, follow up.
The same sequence for every file, whatever the subject — and a cost stated before you commit.
01
Listen
Thirty minutes, free of charge, to understand where you stand. We tell you frankly whether we are the right people — and, where that is the case, that the matter does not warrant a lawyer.
02
Cost
You know what the work will cost before you commit. The basis of calculation is set out in an engagement letter, with what is included and what is not.
03
Act
One lawyer holds your file and remains your point of contact. Each question goes to whichever of us handles it every day.
04
Follow up
Formalities, filings, deadlines: we keep the timetable after signature, and we come back to you when a rule changes.
