COMMERCIAL ADVICE
We act for business clients throughout Orkney and beyond. We can advise on business start-ups, strategies for growing businesses and on business contracts and disputes.
At the core of our commercial practice we believe that our clients want advice that’s centred on the needs of their individual business and wherever possible delivered in plain English.
All of our solicitors are involved in areas of commercial work and collectively we have over 100 years of experience and practical knowledge. Our unrivalled local experience means that we know when there’s an ‘Orkney dimension’ which might not be so apparent elsewhere – for example we have wide experience in transactions involving Orkney Islands Council exercising special powers available under the Orkney County Council Act 1974.
By understanding our clients’ needs we can help provide timely advice that can stop a difficulty spiralling into a crisis.
We have expertise in areas as diverse as franchising and agency, employment law, planning law, licensing and insolvency. We have built up excellent working relationships with lenders/financiers, accountants and specialists in other disciplines.
With six partners all well-versed in commercial practice we offer a level of service which compares favourably with ‘big-city’ commercial practice but where we’re extremely approachable for our clients being based in their community and in their marketplace. We also think that for the level of service offered our professional fees offer exceptional value for money.
