Your Legal Department

For many start-ups, growing businesses and entrepreneurs, the cost of employing an in-house lawyer or legal team is prohibitive. This is where ‘Your Legal Department’ comes in: a complete external legal department for businesses, taking care of all their legal challenges, and protecting them from legal surprises. We replicate the service as an in-house lawyer or legal team, but at a fraction of the cost. Discover our team or find out how we can help your business.

“I have recently used Feakes & Co for a new consultancy contract, and I can only commend the professionalism, quick response time and some great advice to help me to get the result I required in those very difficult dealings.”

Commercial Advice And Contracts

We will support you with commercial legal advice on running your business and on your relationships with customers and suppliers. We can draft all the contracts you require. In particular, we advise on intellectual property, data protection, agency and distribution arrangements, website policies and franchising.

If you are providing a service or supplying a product, a well-drafted contract or set of terms & conditions is crucial to your success. All commercial contracts and agreements should manage risk and accurately reflect your relationship with your suppliers and customers. Ensuring that contract terms are well drafted gives you peace of mind as well as managing risk and avoiding disputes.

We make sure that commercial contracts and agreements are easy to understand and practical to implement. They are drafted specifically for each client to ensure that they reflect and protect their commercial interests, now and in the future. We can match the needs and aspirations of businesses from sole trader start-ups to larger, well-established companies. Find out more about how we can help with your commercial contracts.

“Getting legal advice is often characterised as making a process more complex, more drawn-out and more intimidating. My experience with Feakes & Co has been the opposite.

Their uncomplicated, friendly and effective advice has been invaluable helping my small company deal with much larger organisations.“
