A software agreement can raise questions about liability, data use and intellectual property ownership.
An investment can affect shareholder rights, decision-making and existing contracts. A supplier dispute can start affecting cash flow and customer commitments.
We advise:
The support you need depends on the decision in front of you. That may mean reviewing a document before it is signed, resolving an existing problem or putting new legal arrangements in place as the business grows.
We draft, review and negotiate:
We can review liability clauses, termination rights, payment terms, intellectual property provisions, service levels and confidentiality obligations before the business commits.
Our commercial contracts solicitors can also help where an existing agreement is unclear or no longer reflects how the relationship works.
A contract signed quickly can create a problem that lasts for years.
It is easier to deal with the point before the agreement is signed.
We advise on:
A shareholder agreement can set out voting rights, share transfers, reserved decisions and what happens if a shareholder leaves or wants to sell.
Without clear arrangements, disagreements can quickly become company problems.
Our corporate solicitors can advise before ownership changes are agreed and prepare the documents needed to put them into effect.
The business needs to know who owns those assets and what rights other people have to use them.
Our intellectual property solicitors advise on:
Ownership often needs closer attention where work has been created by founders, employees, contractors or agencies.
This becomes especially important when the business wants to license the asset, take investment or sell the company.
We can review the ownership position, prepare assignments or licences and deal with infringement where another party is using protected material without permission.
A supplier may need access to customer information. A marketing team may want to use an existing database in a new way. The company may introduce new software, employee monitoring or an AI tool.
These decisions can affect how personal data is collected, shared and stored.
Our data protection solicitors advise on:
We can review the proposed arrangement, identify where responsibilities sit and prepare the documents or contractual terms needed before the project goes live.
That gives the people making the decision a clear legal position before data starts moving.
We advise on disputes involving:
The first step is to establish what the contract says, what has happened and what outcome the business wants.
That may lead to negotiation, a formal letter, mediation or court proceedings.
We also consider the value of the claim, the likely cost of pursuing it and whether the commercial relationship is worth preserving.
A legal argument may be strong without litigation being the right business decision.
That can include reviewing customer contracts, negotiating supplier terms, dealing with shareholder changes, responding to a dispute or checking a new commercial arrangement before approval.
Our business solicitors can advise on individual matters or provide ongoing support as those issues arise.
We can also work alongside accountants, HR advisers, finance teams and other professional advisers where the decision involves more than one area.
Regular support also means we already understand the company, its contracts and how it operates when the next issue comes in.
A business solicitor advises companies, directors and business owners on legal issues including commercial contracts, shareholder and company matters, intellectual property, data protection, business sales and purchases, and commercial disputes.
Businesses often take legal advice before signing an important contract, bringing in an investor, changing ownership, launching a new product or dealing with a developing dispute. Taking advice before the decision is finalised gives more scope to change the terms or deal with a risk.
Yes. We can advise on individual matters or provide ongoing support with contracts, corporate issues, intellectual property, data protection and disputes. This works well for businesses that need regular legal input without employing a full-time in-house lawyer.
You will deal directly with an experienced Asenda Law partner.
We advise businesses on commercial contracts, company matters, intellectual property, data protection and disputes, so we can deal with issues that cross more than one area.
We are recognised by The Legal 500 and advise companies across technology, software, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, creative industries and professional services.
Our advice tells you where the legal risk sits, what options are available and what each option means for the business.
If you are signing an important agreement, changing ownership, protecting a valuable asset or dealing with a commercial problem, early advice gives you more options and more control over what happens next.
We can advise on one specific issue or support the business on an ongoing basis.
