Understanding commercial & business services

What commercial solicitors do

Commercial solicitors advise on contracts and terms of business, company formation and shareholder agreements, commercial leases, employment, intellectual property and dispute resolution. Firms range from boutiques to full-service practices, so match the firm to the size and type of work you need, and ask whether fixed fees are available for defined pieces of work.

Choosing the right firm

Look for relevant sector experience, clarity on who will run the matter, and a clear written fee estimate up front. Confirm the firm is SRA-regulated before you share commercially sensitive information.
