Support for startups
Starting a business is an exciting time but it’s important not to overlook the legal details. Specialist startup legal advice will help you avoid mistakes that could be costly later on.
A startup lawyer from our business team will help you explore:
- What is the best legal structure for your business?
- If there is more than one owner, how will your relationship be regulated?
- Who will work for your business and will they be employed?
- What are the legal implications of financing options and investment opportunities?
- What are the laws and regulations affecting the day-to-day operations of your start-up?
We’re here to help
We work closely with all our clients to build a deep understanding of the business and its sector, suppliers, customers and future plans. We aim to be a helpful partner for businesses at every stage of life.
We can offer legal advice for startups in a number of ways to best suit you, including:
- one-off questions or queries about starting your business
- our full startup support service covering all the advice, registrations and documentation you need from the outset
A named lawyer will handle your account, and a member of the business team will always be available to speak to on a day to day basis.
Contact us for a quote or to book an appointment.
I must say personally that I find your approach to offering advice on business law very fresh and uncomplicated and look forward to working together more frequently in the future.
