If you have an emerging business, you probably have a vision of where you would like it to go. However, you may be unsure of the route that takes you there or the obstacles you will face on the journey.

 

At Leman Solicitors we understand the needs of emerging businesses and our lawyers provide structuring advice on, and negotiate, financing, investment and corporate transactions at all stages of a company's lifecycle, from formation, through the development and growth phases and onto exit.

 

We have advised entrepreneurs who have established businesses in a wide range of sectors, including technology (hardware and software), e-commerce, life-sciences, renewable energy, and entertainment.

 

Our experience enables us to guide our clients on what to expect throughout the incorporation and financing process, how to avoid common mistakes and to negotiate the best deal possible.

 

Our services to emerging businesses include the following:

 

  • Basic legal organisation (company incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, share subscriptions, board minutes and shareholder resolutions);
  • Legal review of business plan;
  • Preparation of basic shareholder's agreement;
  • Preparation of basic senior executive and staff employment contracts;
  • Preparation of basic confidentiality and proprietary information agreements
  • General consultation on financing options and preparation for investment transactions, organisation of due diligence etc;
  • Development of intellectual property protection strategies and
  • Preparation of basic terms and conditions of sale.

 

We can, of course, customise our services to meet your unique needs.
