Commercial & corporate law

Operating from our Gadbrook Park office, our Corporate and Commercial Law Solicitors in Northwich advise owner-managed businesses and larger regional enterprises on the arrangements and transactions that shape their operations. We cover company formation and restructuring, shareholder and partnership agreements, business sales and purchases, management buy-outs and buy-ins, and the commercial contracts your business relies on day to day.

We work alongside business owners and directors, providing clear advice that takes account of their legal and commercial priorities. We will explain the relevant considerations, the available options and the likely process so that you can make an informed decision.

Commercial property

The terms on which you occupy or invest in business premises have a long-term impact on your costs and flexibility.

Our Commercial Property Solicitors advise investors, occupiers, landlords and tenants on the purchase and sale of commercial premises, lease negotiations and renewals, site acquisition and development and dilapidations at the end of a lease.

Agriculture & rural affairs

Our Agriculture & Rural Affairs Team advises farmers, landowners, rural businesses and agricultural families across the full range of their legal needs. We understand that property, business and family considerations are often closely connected within a farm or rural enterprise.

We can assist with farm and estate sales and purchases, agricultural tenancies, business structures, partnerships, diversification, succession and intergenerational planning and rural disputes involving boundaries, access and tenancy matters. We also work alongside land agents, accountants and surveyors so that our advice supports the wider plans for the farm, estate or rural business.

Commercial disputes

Commercial disputes can take time and attention away from running a business. Our Commercial Dispute Resolution Team advises on contract disputes, debt recovery, shareholder and director disagreements and professional negligence claims. We will discuss the available options with you, including whether the matter may be resolved without court proceedings.

Property disputes

Our Property Dispute Resolution Team advises businesses, landowners, landlords and tenants on disputes involving commercial and rural property. This includes contested lease terms, dilapidations, possession proceedings, rights of way, boundaries and other disagreements affecting the ownership or use of land and premises.

Employment law and HR support

Our employment law and HR support for employers covers contracts and policies, disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancy, settlement agreements and tribunal representation. Our Employment Law Team can advise on an individual matter or provide ongoing HR support, helping you understand your responsibilities and deal with workplace issues as they arise.

Notarial services

Our Notaries assist individuals and businesses with documents required for use overseas, including powers of attorney, overseas property documents and company documents for international transactions. Where an apostille or further legalisation is required, we can explain the process and help arrange this for you.

Notarial appointments should be booked in advance so that we can confirm what documents and identification you will need to bring.

Charity law

We advise charities and not-for-profit organisations on governance, regulatory compliance and constitutional matters. Our Teams can also assist charities with property transactions, leases, employment matters and disputes.

Succession and estate planning

Our Gadbrook Park Team advises business owners, agricultural families and high-net-worth Clients on succession and estate planning. We can help you consider how personal, family and business assets should be structured and passed on, including through Wills, trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and wider succession arrangements.

Where your affairs involve a business, farm, estate or complex assets, our Teams can work together and alongside your accountant, financial adviser or other professional advisers.
