Company and Commercial Law

We advise all types of businesses, from sole traders and small family run businesses through to companies with large multi-million pound turnovers.

Introduction

We advise all types of businesses, from sole traders and small family run businesses through to companies with large multi-million pound turnovers. The following is a snapshot of some of the matters that we regularly deal with:-

  • The sale, purchase and merger of businesses
  • The formation, running and management of a company
  • Partnership Agreements
  • Shareholder Agreements
  • The duties and powers of directors
  • Commercial agreements and contracts
  • Terms and conditions of business
  • Debt and equity financing
  • Employment matters
  • Copyright, trademarks and design rights
  • Insolvency
  • Dispute resolution/litigation support

Our Approach

We like to work with businesses to help them to prosper. Not only do we provide legal advice of a pragmatic and commercially sensible nature but we like to support your business by referring to you other professionals in other fields when needed (e.g. accountants, financial advisors, website designers etc).


Costs

We can offer fixed fees for most work types, so you can budget accordingly. Alternatively we can work within a budget fixed by yourself. Our fees are extremely competitive with other legal firms both locally and nationally.

Testimonials

Jamie Dobbs FCILEx

"I should like to take this opportunity to express my very sincere and grateful thanks for Jamie's unfailing helpfulness and efficiency in all aspects of the handling of my late stepmother's estate. Jamie have always replied to my (many!) queries promptly and comprehensively which has been a enormous help throughout what I know can be a fraught and stressful process. Sadly, it is increasingly rare these days to experience the highs standards of service that Jamie has provided."

Gemma Mayer LLB

"I would highly recommend Maples Solicitors, especially Gemma Mayer, for any conveyancing work. The level of support and professionalism was excellent at all times. I also felt if I needed to ask or clarify anything that it was not an issue. Buying and selling a house is stressful enough, but Gemma helped me through it step by step."

Daven Naghen LLB

"Daven provided an excellent service, from attending the first interview with me to the final court appearance. He filled me full of confidence that he would defend me to which he did and come out with an excellent outcome in view of my position that I had put myself in."

Faye was excellent, sensitive and acted very well to the time constraints we faced. Great service and dealt with compassion at such sad times made the process less painful very professional.

Jamie Dobbs GCILEx

Over the last forty years I have cause to deal with many law firms both in a personal and professional capacity, including some ‘top’ London Companies. In all of those dealings I have never found anyone as proactive and so willing to offer help and advice as Jamie Dobbs. During the last two years Jamie guided my parents through the completion of Lasting Powers of Attorney. Helped myself with the use of the LPA and recently dealing with Probate and Estate Administration following their death.
