Solicitors and Business Lawyers
Partnerships open up dynamic business possibilities, yet they bring with them an array of complications and responsibilities. Partnership structures are changing and developing more rapidly than used to be the case. Clients are also seeking the expertise of our corporate lawyers on key provisions of the Legal Services Act 2007, which transformed the UK legal landscape by creating opportunities for law firms to seek investment through flotations and private sources and to create alternative business structures with third party non-lawyer ownership. If you would like to find out how the Legal Services Act 2007 affects your business, please contact any member of our corporate law group.
