corporate and commercial

At Clarke Willmott, our Corporate and Commercial team has successfully demonstrated over many years its ability to provide clients with a service that enables them to navigate through complex legal issues to achieve their goals and to enhance the value of opportunities. Working with other disciplines within the firm, we:

• can reduce the risks facing sellers and buyers along the path to a successful sale or purchase
• can provide creative commercial solutions by adopting a proactive "business-to-business" no-nonsense approach
• provide access to other specialist services through a network of professional contacts developed over a number of years
• provide specialist corporate finance solutions and advise generally on funding options
• provide advice and training with regard to corporate governance issues including compliance and advice on management structures
• advise and implement employee participation schemes
• advise and litigate director disputes and minority shareholder claims

Our approach is to be open and straightforward in our dealings with clients. This means that as a client, you will know at the outset in most cases how much our fees will be before we start work (we will let you know if we require further information before being able to give any estimate). Instructions are dealt with at the appropriate level in order to keep costs down but remain supervised to ensure quality standards are maintained. We understand the needs of business clients and are more than willing to go the extra mile for clients to ensure a service of the highest quality. This approach has resulted in the increasing value of work and confidence received.
