Corporate & Commercial Law covers how your business is built, how it’s governed, and how it operates day to day — from choosing the right structure at the start, to the contracts, compliance, and agreements that keep it running.
Businesses rarely operate within one area of law. Setting up an entity, bringing in a co-founder, raising investment, signing a contract, acquiring another business, or resolving a shareholder disagreement can each raise different legal questions. PROFESH advises across this full business lifecycle — helping you understand your legal position, structure transactions, document commercial relationships, and resolve issues as your business operates and grows.

Corporate & Commercial Disputes:
Not every commercial relationship goes as planned. We advise and represent clients in breach of contract claims, payment and recovery disputes, shareholder and partnership disputes, investment disputes, and commercial fraud — through negotiation, arbitration, mediation, or litigation. Early legal assessment, before a dispute escalates, often preserves more options than waiting.
When should you speak to a Corporate Lawyer?
You may need one when you are: starting a company or LLP · bringing in a co-founder · raising investment · preparing a shareholders’ agreement · entering an important commercial contract · buying or selling a business · entering a joint venture · restructuring the business · facing a shareholder or contractual dispute · entering a cross-border transaction. The earlier the legal position is understood, the more options usually remain available.
