Every business experiences disagreements from time to time.

📄 Whether it's an unpaid invoice, a breach of contract, a dispute with a supplier, or a disagreement between shareholders, directors, business partners or employees, acting early often provides more options for resolving the issue.

⚖️ Not every dispute needs to end in court.

Depending on the circumstances, negotiation, mediation or formal legal proceedings may be the most appropriate route.

Every case is different, which is why we take the time to understand your commercial objectives before recommending the right strategy.

If your business is facing a dispute, speak to our Dispute Resolution team today.

Did You Know We Offer Notary Public Services?

Many people only discover they need a Notary Public when an organisation overseas asks for one.

You may need documents notarised if you're:

✈️ Working abroad
🏠 Buying or selling property overseas
📑 Using business documents internationally
👤 Providing certified identification or powers of attorney

Having an in-house Notary Public means we can provide a straightforward service alongside the wider legal support many businesses and individuals already receive from CMP Legal.

If you've been asked for a notarised document and aren't sure where to start, get in touch with our team.

Buying Another Business?

💷Buying a business isn't simply agreeing a purchase price.

Before completion, it's important to understand exactly what you're buying.

Due diligence helps identify matters such as:
✔️ Existing contracts
✔️ Employment issues
✔️ Financial obligations
✔️ Ongoing liabilities
✔️ Potential legal risks

The more information you have before completion, the better placed you'll be to make informed commercial decisions.

Our Corporate team can guide you through every stage of buying a business, from due diligence to completion.

Employing your first team member is an exciting milestone, but it's also when many businesses realise just how much employment law there is to consider.

Before day one, ask yourself:
✔️ Do you have an up-to-date employment contract?
✔️ Are your policies and procedures in place?
✔️ Does your staff handbook reflect current legislation?
✔️ Have expectations been clearly communicated?

Taking the time to get these essentials right helps create a positive working environment while protecting both your business and your employees.

If you're recruiting your first employee or managing a growing team, our Employment Law specialists are here to help.

Is Your Business Growing?

Growth is exciting. But as your business develops, your legal documentation should develop with it.

A business that looked very different three years ago may now have:

➡️ More employees
➡️ Additional directors or shareholders
➡️ New customers and suppliers
➡️ Different commercial risks

Now is the perfect opportunity to review documents such as Shareholder Agreements, commercial contracts, employment documentation and corporate governance to make sure they still reflect how your business operates today.

Regular legal reviews don't just protect your business, they support future growth too.

If it's been a while since your legal documents were reviewed, let's have a conversation.

🎉Starting a business is exciting.

Choosing the right business structure from day one is one of the most important decisions you'll make and can affect everything from tax and liability to future investment and succession planning. It's also worth thinking ahead.

👉Will there be more than one owner?
📝Do you need a Shareholders' Agreement?
📁Have responsibilities been clearly defined?

Putting the right legal foundations in place now can help prevent costly disputes and uncertainty later, leaving you free to focus on growing your business.

At CMP Legal, we understand both the legal and commercial realities of running a business because we've been there ourselves.

If you're setting up a new business or reviewing your current structure, we'd be happy to help.
