Business Advice

If you are running a business, buying a business, or starting a business, one of the most important decisions you will make is in choosing the law firm that will represent your interests.

At Ellis-Fermor & Negus we treat our clients as business people and not businesses. Ellis-Fermor & Negus offers a full range of business advice and legal services for the business community, and whilst we act for several national PLCs, we aim to make our services especially attractive to small and medium-sized companies, often family-controlled, with an annual turnover up to £25 million.

Our Corporate Team has expertise in Company, LLP and Partnership law and relevant corporate and business transactions. The team is made up of two qualified lawyers and supporting paralegal, being headed up by a senior corporate solicitor with over 10 years’ experience working on corporate sales, acquisitions and restructuring arrangements for local, regional and national clients. The team is further supported by our former Corporate Director, Murray Macnab, on a consultancy basis and he has over 35 years’ experience in Corporate and Commercial matters.

Our qualified lawyers have a multitude of experience in various aspects of company arrangements and deals. The team prides itself in ensuring that all team members’ knowledge is current and up to date which translates into the advice that is given to our clients, in order to give our clients the best service possible. With varying levels of experience in the team (including qualified solicitors, legal chartered executive and paralegal), we ensure that all members of the team are fully supported, supervised appropriately and, where appropriate, trained, so that the quality of advice given to clients is maintained, regardless of who is working on a matter, and also to ensure that work is conducted at an appropriate level.

The Corporate Team is proud to work, advise and assist our clients to achieve successful outcomes. You can find out more information about the department and team members on our website. We provide a service that is tailored to each client and so are pleased to provide a budget for our bespoke work for agreement with our clients for transparency.
