Corporate Law

We offer comprehensive corporate and company law advice to a wide range of clients across both the public and private sectors, with a particular expertise in advising clients who operate at the interface between the two.

We harness our renowned public sector expertise to advise public sector bodies on the creation of innovative corporate structures for public sector service delivery, whether this is through the establishment of partnerships, mutuals, joint ventures, ‘Teckal’ companies or trading subsidiaries.

We can also offer advice to those private businesses looking to enter into relationships with public sector bodies.

Our corporate team can offer advice at all stages of a business’ lifetime, from formation through to an eventual sale or other exit – and it is our aim to become trusted advisers to the business throughout this journey.
