Business disputes

Commercial disputes are disruptive and costly. Our solicitors work to resolve disagreements as efficiently as possible, through negotiation, mediation, or litigation where necessary.

Business purchases

Buying a business requires thorough due diligence and careful structuring. We guide you through every stage, helping you identify risks early and make well-informed decisions before completion.

Business sales

Selling a business requires clear legal advice and careful preparation. We help structure the transaction to achieve the best outcome, from heads of terms through to completion.

Claims against professionals

If your business has suffered a financial loss due to negligent professional advice, we can assess your position and help you pursue a claim against the professional responsible.

Commercial contracts

A well-drafted contract is one of the most effective tools a business has. We draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts to ensure they are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your interests.

Commercial debt recovery

Unpaid invoices put pressure on cash flow and take time to manage. We help businesses recover what they are owed promptly and professionally.

Commercial transactions

Our solicitors handle a wide range of commercial transactions, from straightforward deals to complex multi-party arrangements, keeping things moving and flagging issues early.

Corporate finance

From raising investment to structuring shareholder funding, we advise on the legal aspects of corporate finance and work alongside your financial advisers to help transactions complete efficiently.

Employee ownership trusts (EOTs)

An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) can be an effective succession and tax planning structure for business owners. We advise on the legal structure, implementation, and ongoing governance of EOTs.

Employment law for employers

Employment law is complex and changes regularly. Our employment solicitors for business in Swansea advise on contracts, disciplinary processes, redundancy, TUPE regulations, and tribunal claims.

Insolvency advice

Financial difficulty carries significant legal consequences for directors and creditors alike. We advise on insolvency processes, restructuring options, and obligations under insolvency law.

Management buy-outs

A management buy-out (MBO) requires careful legal and commercial planning. We guide management teams and vendors through the process from initial structuring to completion.

Partnership agreements

A clear partnership agreement prevents disputes before they arise. We draft and advise on agreements that reflect how your business operates and protect the interests of all parties.

Shareholder agreements

A shareholder agreement governs how shareholders work together, covering decision-making, dispute resolution, and exit provisions. We draft robust agreements tailored to your business.

Shareholder disputes

Disagreements between shareholders can threaten the stability of a business. We advise on rights and available options, working towards a resolution that protects both the business and your individual interests.

Draft terms and conditions

Clear, legally sound terms and conditions set out the basis on which you do business. We draft terms tailored to your business model, reducing the risk of disputes with customers or suppliers.
