In the fast-paced world of business, windows of opportunity do not stay open for long. But getting ahead means recognising the need to look before leaping.

Your commercial decisions need context, calculation and careful consideration. And at Brethertons, we’ll help you make them quickly and with confidence. Our Company Commercial lawyers have a close eye for detail, acumen which means they see the full picture, and they’ll share your drive to get your business moving in the right direction.

We specialise in the company lifecycle. That’s everything related to the formation and operation of businesses and the changes that affect them as they mature: from the start-up of your business, incorporation or acquisition through to assisting in your day-to-day commercial needs and in exit planning for the final realisation of the value in your businesses.

We help customers buy and sell companies, as well as choose the best legal, internal and corporate structure. We’ll prepare your commercial contracts, terms and conditions and guarantees so that you’re protected and can trade efficiently and effectively. And we’ll work with you to secure the funding you need to carry your company forward.

Rules about Companies House filing, directors’ duties, shareholdings and internal procedures present an extra layer of responsibility for those at the helm of business. We’ll break this down and help you understand and organise your legal obligations. And if you’d like us to take a more involved role, ask us about our Company Secretarial Service; it’s designed to take the administrative pressure off, leaving you to get on with running your business.
