Getting the legal basics right early saves time, money and difficult conversations later. We help founders incorporate their company, agree founders’ and shareholders’ agreements, and put clear commercial contracts in place with customers and suppliers. We also prepare employment and consultant agreements, so the people building the business are engaged on the right terms from day one.
As the business grows, we help you prepare for investment, making sure your company records, contracts and ownership structure will stand up to an investor’s review. We also put in place the early foundations for protecting your intellectual property and handling personal data, so these are built in from the start rather than fixed later. Our advice is practical and suited to the stage your business has reached.
We act on transactions at every stage of a company’s life, from investment and fundraising rounds to share transfers and joint ventures. We draft and negotiate the key documents, carry out legal due diligence and explain the risks in plain terms, so you can make decisions with confidence.
For larger deals, we advise buyers and sellers on acquisitions and disposals, and help businesses restructure or prepare for an exit. Many of our transactions involve parties or assets in more than one country, and we coordinate the legal work across jurisdictions so the deal runs smoothly.
Not every business needs a full in-house legal team, but most need someone they can rely on. We act as an outsourced general counsel, either on an ongoing basis or for specific projects. We advise boards and founders on commercial contracts, compliance and risk, and on the everyday legal questions that come with running a business.
Employment law is a core part of this work. We prepare employment contracts and workplace policies, help keep your HR practices compliant, and advise on staff issues as they arise. We also advise on privacy, data protection and IP licensing, so that your people, your information and your ideas are properly protected.
For employers, we advise on obtaining and keeping a sponsor licence, sponsoring Skilled Workers, and meeting the ongoing duties that come with sponsorship, such as right to work checks and record-keeping. We also support businesses moving staff between countries, helping them plan ahead so the right people are in place when they are needed.
For individuals and families, we advise on visa applications, settlement (indefinite leave to remain) and British citizenship. UK immigration rules change often, so we keep our advice up to date and explain clearly what is needed at each stage. We stay with you from the first assessment through to the final decision.
With lawyers qualified in England & Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Turkiye, we are well placed to advise on matters that cross borders. We act for Turkish individuals and businesses investing or operating in the UK, and for UK clients with interests in Turkiye. We work in both English and Turkish.
We advise on cross-border investments, international commercial transactions and matters that need advice under more than one legal system. Rather than passing clients between separate firms, we look at the whole picture and give clear, coordinated advice.
