About
In a business life cycle there is a mix of periodic transactions, large or small, and an ongoing need for more routine legal support. A major transaction or reorganisation can be a major landmark event with a need for high levels of commercial understanding, professional care and urgent attention. We understand this and our pragmatic, practical advice can make the difference between the success or failure of a deal.
Hewitsons' corporate services group of expert solicitors can advise on business formation, funding, acquisitions, disposals and reorganisations. We have other business lawyers who specialise in complex issues surrounding employment, contracts, pensions, regulation or civil disputes. Technology impacts on every business sector, and relevant law and regulation is ever changing. We have IP and ICT experts whose careers are dedicated to these issues.
Our range of quality corporate advice comes with a personal touch. Our partner-led approach and commercial know-how ensures you will always get the best advice. That applies whether you are an owner-managed business, a charity or institution with business activities, or a large company regularly involved in transactions.
