Commercial legal support for your business

Clear agreements help prevent uncertainty and provide a sound basis for doing business.

I assist with drafting, reviewing and negotiating terms of business and customer agreements; consultancy and professional services agreements; supply and distribution agreements; agency and introducer arrangements; collaboration and joint venture agreements; and confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.

Advice addresses the provisions that matter to your position, including payment, performance, liability, termination and dispute resolution.

Purchasing goods or services creates obligations that can affect costs, delivery and business continuity.

I advise on procurement documentation and supplier agreements, including specifications, service standards, payment terms, contractual remedies and the allocation of risk between the parties.

Brands, content, designs, know-how and confidential information can represent significant business value.

I assist with the contractual aspects of protecting and using these assets, including ownership provisions, assignments, licences and confidentiality obligations. Particular attention is given to arrangements with employees, consultants, collaborators and service providers.

Clear arrangements between owners and commercial partners help establish expectations and reduce the potential for disagreement.

I advise on shareholder agreements, business collaborations and contractual arrangements supporting investment, ownership changes and business transactions. Where a matter requires tax, accounting or other specialist advice, the need for that input will be identified.

When a business relationship becomes difficult, understanding your contractual position can help you decide how to proceed.

I advise on contractual rights and obligations, potential breaches, termination provisions and options for negotiated resolution.

This service does not include conducting court proceedings or providing reserved court representation. Where those services are required, I will discuss the need to instruct an appropriately authorised provider.

I assist clients with UK-facing commercial arrangements involving Nigerian businesses, founders or investors. This may include contracts, collaborations and the legal arrangements supporting a UK business presence.

The applicable jurisdiction and any requirement for separate local or specialist advice will be considered for each instruction.
