The commercial lawyers at Barlow Robbins LLP are just the people you want when it comes to the legal aspects of running your business.  With many years experience of a wide variety of clients and their issues, it is likely we have come across your situation before.

We are experts in the drafting of all types of commercial contract – including distribution, agency and franchise agreements, as well as standard terms and conditions of sale and purchase.  Over the years we have honed our negotiation skills which we can bring to bear for the benefit of our clients, helping them to secure the best possible advantage in their contracts.

We can help you from the very beginning of your business, when you are just starting out – advising on the form or structure your business should take and then forming a limited company, or a limited liability partnership for you, or drawing up a partnership agreement, or advising you as a sole trader or self employed consultant.

After that, if you would like us to take the regulatory and administrative burdens of running your business off your hands we can provide you with a full company secretarial service or simply advise as and when you need assistance.

To all of our work we bring a commercial awareness built up through dealing with our clients and our network of business connections over many years.  Our advice is practical and pragmatic, taking account of commercial reality.  We don’t just advise and leave you to take things on from there.  We take the next steps for you.
