Judge & Priestley offers a wide range of services for business clients. Whatever the size of your company, our specialist solicitors are on hand to ensure you are minimising your risk and protecting your investments, whilst complying with all commercial legal requirements.
We combine our legal expertise with a realistic commercial approach to help you make the decisions that are right for your business.
Setting up, selling or acquiring a business is a complex process. To help guide you through that process we can advise you on the best legal structure to support your venture and safeguard your assets. We aim to assist you in a number of ways: creating options, achieving realistic and attainable goals, and offering advice to assist decision-making in a commercial context.
Contracts are at the core of business activity. Every sale made by your business and every item or service purchased by your business involves a contract. Not every contract needs the involvement of a solicitor. However, where you require legal advice on your terms and conditions of business, or unusual commercial arrangements our solicitors are able to provide practical advice to ensure that your legal position is protected.
If you are in partnership or there is more than one shareholder, you should look to protect your interests by entering into a partnership or shareholders' agreement. We are able to provide practical advice on how to structure your agreement so that conflict is minimised.
As our commercial expertise comes from many years of experience, we provide practical advice which is clear, relevant and tailored to your business needs.
In addition we have a wide range of contacts that provide added-value to the service we provide, including accountants, surveyors, valuers and financial advisors.
If you are in dispute over a contract, our litigation department can act on your behalf to find a solution that best suits you.
