We can provide practical advice about instructing agencies and/or distributors to market, sell or distribute your products. We will take the time to get to know your business, the markets within which it operates, and provide bespoke advice on entering into an agency or distribution agreement to achieve your commercial goals, whether that be expansion into a new market or simply freeing up your time to work ‘on’ your business rather than ‘in’ it.
Contracting your product manufacturing out to a third party can help you save costs while allowing you more time to develop new products or sell your existing ranges. Our commercial solicitors can help you put in place the contracts you need to fulfil your business goals while ensuring full legal protection.
Putting a high-quality franchise agreement in place is essential to set out the terms of the franchisor and franchisee’s relationship, protect both parties and maximise positive returns. Our franchise agreement solicitors advise both franchisors and franchisees on entering into these types of contract and resolving any potential problems or challenges that arise along the way.
We can offer expert advice about entering into a joint venture agreement to embark on your next business venture, ensuring that the agreement is carefully tailored to meet your business needs while protecting your financial and commercial interests.

A deed of adherence is essential when a new shareholder or partner joins the business. It ensures their compliance with your existing shareholder agreements or partnership agreement, contractually binding them to your interests. We can help businesses negotiate clear deeds of adherence as well as providing advice about the formalities and practicalities of adding new members to the business.
Our commercial law solicitors can provide all the advice and support you need to introduce consultants to your business, putting in place an agreement that suitability reflects and endorses the realities of your relationship. We will ensure all your commercial interests are protected, for example, by clearly outlining the contractor’s employment status, setting out termination clauses, and providing a process of substituting or replacing the consultant.
Without a partnership agreement in place, the nature of your partnership will be governed by statute and will therefore be out of your control. We can negotiate and draft strong a partnership agreement on your behalf, clearly defining the relationship between partners within the true commercial context of your business.
We can provide specialist advice about entering into an LLP agreement to set out the contractual relationship between your business’s limited liability partners, ensuring that the terms on which you conduct business are fair and protect the individual investments of each member.
