Specialists in Civil Litigation, Family Law, Corporate and Commercial Law, Estate Planning & Insolvency.
Corporate and Commercial law are related but in separate groups. Corporate law involves legal principles relating to companies and other legal entities while Commercial law relates to legal principles regarding business and include those individuals and entities who are engaged in business.
Practice areas within Corporate are linked closely and relate to the lifecycle of companies, also acquisitions and mergers. A broader range of practice areas are included in Commercial law i.e. intellectual property, franchising and may also include litigation. There is a common denominator between these practice areas that relate to contract law. Corporate and Commercial law have similarities in the work a trainee might do. It is, therefore, not uncommon that practice areas are sometimes shared by working together on large transactions.
