Frequently asked questions: Corporate law
What does a corporate solicitor do?
A corporate solicitor advises companies on legal issues related to business operations including mergers and acquisitions, company structuring, compliance, and contracts. They play a critical role in ensuring transactions are legally sound and aligned with business strategy.
When should I involve a corporate solicitor in my business plans?
You should engage a corporate solicitor as early as possible when planning any structural change, investment, acquisition, or strategic partnership. Early involvement helps identify potential legal risks and ensures the right documentation and processes are in place from the outset.
How much do corporate legal services typically cost?
Costs can vary depending on the complexity and scope of the legal work required. Some services may be charged at a fixed fee, while others are billed hourly. We provide clear, upfront pricing and tailored packages when appropriate.
Can you assist with cross-border transactions?
Yes, our team has experience advising on a wide range of cross-border issues including international mergers, overseas investment, and multi-jurisdictional compliance. We also work closely with a trusted network of international legal partners to deliver seamless support.
What is the difference between corporate law and commercial law?
Corporate law focuses on the governance, formation, and structure of companies, including shareholding and mergers. Commercial law deals with the day-to-day legal aspects of business operations, such as contracts and trading relationships. Although distinct, these areas often overlap.
