Commercial law is constantly changing the way that businesses can trade. This affects companies both in terms of operating within an environment free from any worries of future litigation, but also in connection with how the business itself is structured and run to secure best advantage from its future plans. The role of commercial solicitors has also had to change to take account of modern business practices.

Business-friendly advice and solicitors may seem uncommon bedfellows, but at Pellys LLP we see ourselves as working with businesses to avoid issues by giving sound advice rather than retrieving a difficult situation in the future. We welcome the opportunity to become involved in the planning and development of the client's business and especially in a transaction where we work alongside clients and accountants to structure a deal that is both financially sound and legally secure. The scope and depth of expertise of our commercial team extends across many industries and nearly every business scenario imaginable.

Our clients may be young companies where rapid growth needs controlling, established family businesses concerned about their future through to major corporates looking to acquire complementary businesses. The 'constant' is that they all need a personal service that is focused upon delivering results that they, the client, want. Our experience in assessing the commercial and legal implications of business decisions means we deliver comprehensive and valued results time after time.

Investment or overhead? Asset or liability? Commercial property transactions invariably have a major impact on a company's finances. As your legal advisors we'll check out the conditions of any agreement - and help you secure the most advantageous terms.

We bring to it a wealth of experience in the transaction of all types of commercial permises: retail, office, industrial and agricultural. We also have considerable expertise in landlord and tenant matters and can advise on rent reviews, lease renewals and rating appeals.

For investors, landowners and developers we undertake specialist services. We as business lawyers are perfectly placed to establish the legal structure of a project, be it site acquisition and planning, briefing of contractors and consultants, or the preparation of formal sales contracts.
