Running a business is not always smooth sailing and commercial, banking and finance issues are often bound to arise. However, you will rarely find that these matters sit neatly in one legal sector.
Commercial matters are often tied to financial risks and our joined-up service between our Company Commercial and Banking and Finance Law departments is here to help.
Our team works under one umbrella to advise you on matters ranging from funding rounds and supplier agreements to personal guarantees and lending arrangements.
Our Supervising Director of the Company Commercial department, Matthew Johnson, explains how our joined-up services can support you.
How do our joined-up services work?
Rather than having two separate workstreams, our Company Commercial and Banking and Finance solicitors work closely together to provide seamless and practical advice that supports businesses at every stage.
Whether you are negotiating a contract, acquiring a business, entering a funding round or refinancing existing facilities, the legalities and financial implications of the deal will be considered.
Our combined services include:
- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts
- Due diligence when entering new suppliers, clients, acquisitions and financing agreements
- Advice on financing obligations
- Support with contract renewals or restructurings
- Dispute resolution when issues arise
How can our teams help you?
For brokers
Our Company Commercial and Banking and Finance teams work closely to support brokers by providing clear guidance on corporate structures and contracts.
Without close collaboration between teams, issues such as unexpected debt or restrictive covenants can delay or derail your deal entirely.
For lenders
Our combined expertise can help you secure favourable terms and maintain your relationships with borrowers, suppliers, investors and commercial partners.
We will draft robust documentation and facilitate efficient transactions, particularly in secured lending and property finance.
For advisers
Our joined-up service offers advisers a complete view of the legal and financial implications of any transaction.
Whether it is negotiating contracts or entering new funding arrangements, we provide advice that protects your legal position and helps you manage the risks.
We don’t just tick boxes. We want to give you informed advice that helps your business thrive.
