Legal cover,
without the jargon.

From your terms and conditions to a commercial lease, getting the legal side right protects everything you're building. Here's what to look for.

Most small businesses call a solicitor too late.

The pattern is familiar. The lease gets signed unread. The contractor works without terms. The partner leaves and nobody wrote down who owns what. By the time a solicitor is involved they're managing a mess rather than preventing one, and the bill reflects it. An hour of advice before you sign is cheaper than the dispute afterwards by an order of magnitude.

Specialism matters more than postcode. A high-street practice doing conveyancing and wills is not the firm for a commercial lease negotiation or an employment tribunal. Ask directly what they do most of — and be wary of anyone whose answer is everything.

Run a business in this trade and think you should be on our list? Get in touch — it's free and there's nothing to buy.

When it's worth the call

  • Before you sign a commercial lease — especially the repair clause
  • Before a partner or shareholder joins, not after they leave
  • When you take on your first employee
  • When a customer stops paying and stops replying
  • Before you rely on a template contract you found online
