Leading Commercial & Regulatory Solicitors in Reading, Henley-on-Thames & Wokingham

Working closely with your business or organisation, we add value by helping to manage the risk in your commercial relationships with customers, suppliers and other parties, and to exploit the opportunities in such commercial arrangements.

Whether you are looking to protect your brand or intellectual property, engaged in advertising and promotions, negotiating a supplier contract, trading online, involved in licensing, franchising or distribution or faced with a dispute, we can help. We can also advise on other areas of commercial law, for example data protection, including UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Privacy and Electronic Communications (PECR).

On the regulatory side, we work with organisations to help you navigate your way through increasingly complex and burdensome regulation that can impact on all commercial aspects of your business. We routinely deal with regulators and enforcement agencies (including Trading Standards, the Charity Commission, the Environment Agency and the Advertising Standards Authority) and we represent those involved in regulatory investigations or prosecutions.

Working With our Leading Team of Commercial Solicitors

Typically, we work closely with chief executives, business owners and directors, and the relevant experts in their teams, whether that is in finance, legal, HR, operations or commercial areas. We also regularly provide training and guidance to boards of directors, trustees and governors.

Based nationally, our clients include businesses and organisations of all shapes and sizes, across all sectors, with turnovers ranging from under £5 million to over £100 million. This includes corporations and UK subsidiaries, large private companies including family and owner-managed businesses, schools, charities and not for profit organisations.

Our relationships with other leading professional services firms across the Thames Valley and our experience in working closely with other advisers who may be representing you can also help to ensure a smoother process and minimise the likelihood and impact of any unforeseen issues or costly delays.

As members of the Law Firm Network, a global network of 50 law firms, we can advise international clients, including UK subsidiaries of multinational companies, who are investing in the UK, as well as refer our clients based in the UK to like-minded lawyers overseas.

The full range of expertise across our firm means that we can also advise business owners and leaders on private client matters, where relevant.

Trusted Expertise & Experience in Commercial Law

Many of our clients have trusted us to provide legal advice and support throughout the lifetimes of their business; in some cases for decades and across generations. We are equally well versed in stepping in at a crucial moment for you and your organisation.

We aim to anticipate your needs and to meet your expectations and pride ourselves on providing clear, practical and effective legal advice, a responsive and highly personal service and, crucially, value for money. We seek to develop a lasting professional relationship, throughout which you can be confident that you and your business are in the very best hands when it comes to legal advice.

We continue to be recommended in The Legal 500, whilst our successful approach and lasting professional relationships are evident in the excellent feedback that our clients kindly continue to share.
