Commercial Legal Advice FAQs
Commercial legal services protect businesses from legal issues that could damage or prevent the growth of the company.
Startups need expert legal advice on setting up and structuring their business in such a way that personal and professional assets are protected. Robust agreements between partners and shareholders can prevent future disputes.
Commercial contracts are vital in managing relationships with other businesses, agencies and consultants. A commercial solicitor can ensure that your interests are protected and set out what happens when other parties do not fulfil their obligations.
An experienced commercial solicitor can also provide support and help you get your business ready for sale. Exit planning can help you to maximise your sale value, as well as understanding the legal requirements of selling a business.
Business owners may also look to acquire other businesses or increase their power through shareholder or management buyouts. This can take various forms and you will need to be aware of the corporate governance issues involved.
You will need to consider whether your commercial law firm has specific experience of the type of transaction you need.
Commercial law is highly specialised, and the solicitors that you have used before for something else may not be suitable. The law firm should demonstrate that they have the necessary commercial experience.

Whilst larger businesses may use in-house legal counsel, startups and smaller businesses do not usually have this option. As the owner of a startup or small business, it is prudent to seek your own legal advice which can be tailored to your specific, individual needs.
When finding commercial solicitors for your business, you should consider their specialist knowledge including:
Do they have the technical knowledge and a track record of resolving business issues? How qualified are they to handle your deal, manage your cases and help you make the right decisions?
How much will they cost? Get a written quote with a full breakdown of the cost including any VAT.
Can you contact your solicitors during key stages of a transaction? Are they responsive? Could you try calling and emailing them to test this out before instructing?
Are they available for physical and remote meetings, including to resolve apparent deadlocks and in case of emergencies? Can you be reassured that this is possible if needed, including evenings and weekends?
