Business and Commercial law

The Firm has vast experience in dealing with business and commercial matters on behalf of clients. We ourselves are a business and are fully aware of the issues which can arise in day to day business and commercial transactions or relationships.

We have acted for a number of large corporate clients for many years and we have built up a sustained relationship with these entities in order to advise them on all of their legal issues. In our experience, taking an interest in and gaining a good knowledge of the nature of our client’s business puts us in a unique position to fully advise that business on all its legal issues.

The Firm has acted on behalf of one of the largest Co-Operative Societies in the Country since it was first formed in the early 1970s.
