From the nitty gritty to the high stakes: long-term commercial advice for every company
Any size, any sector, any stage of its life cycle: every company needs utterly reliable, efficient advice on the fundamentals. The contracts which protect the company, its suppliers and clients. The agreements setting out the mission of the company, the rewards to its shareholders and the responsibilities of its directors.
For advice on matters from the nitty-gritty of employing people, occupying business premises and selling your services to the higher-stakes business of buying and selling the business itself, William Sturges is your long-term legal partner and protector.
We work with companies in every development stage, from initial establishment to final divestment. Our business groups help us offer advice which is specific to key sectors, but across the board it’s our company and commercial experts who deliver the prompt and dependable advice every company needs. As you’d expect, this includes full-service company secretarial or registered office facilities.
So like many other companies, you can count on the William Sturges team to support the creation of companies, partnerships or joint ventures, the sale and purchase of businesses or companies, and company reorganizations. We advise on private equity and venture capital investments and on IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder communications and routine regulation.
Our employment law colleagues are on hand to protect your interests when you need to engage or dismiss employees. Tax and finance experts are key to managing your assets efficiently, and our real estate specialists help round off the support our clients depend upon.
We help prepare commercial contracts including terms of business, agency and distribution agreements. Our commercial advice also covers e-commerce and web requirements, areas which often intersect with other key needs, the protection and assignment of intellectual property.
Charity law is a key area of expertise, covering both charitable organizations and the charitable affairs of individuals and estates.
