Going into business with someone can be incredibly exciting.
But friendship, trust and good intentions don't replace having a clear understanding of the business arrangement.
People's circumstances change.
Businesses change.
Relationships change.
A good legal structure doesn't mean you expect things to go wrong.
It means you've thought about what happens if they do.
📌 Save this if you're considering going into business with someone.
And if you've been in business with a partner, what's the one thing you think every partnership should discuss upfront?

The legal side?
The admin?
The people?
The constant decision-making?
The fact that you somehow have 47 tabs open at all times?!

Running a business comes with plenty of lessons that don't appear in any business plan.

So let's hear yours.

What's one thing about running a business that nobody warned you about? Drop it below👇

You might just make another business owner's day by making them realise they're not the only one.

A commercial lease is about much more than rent.

Options, outgoings, personal guarantees, these are just some of the terms that can have a significant impact on your business.

Getting your lease reviewed before you sign can help you understand your obligations, identify risks and negotiate better terms.

Don’t just look at the rent. Understand the whole lease.

We all know which type of business owner we want to be.
But which one are you actually?
A, B or C?
I'll start:
There is absolutely something in every business that has been sitting on the ""I'll deal with it later"" list for far too long.
Tell us yours!

After many years of practising law, one thing I've learned is that being a good lawyer isn't just about knowing the law.
It's about listening.
Understanding what the client actually wants.
Asking the right questions.
And sometimes telling someone what they need to hear rather than what they want to hear.
The legal answer is important but so is understanding the person and the business behind the matter.
That's something I never want to lose sight of.

Not every business opportunity that comes your way is automatically a good one.
Sometimes we're so focused on the potential upside that we don't stop to consider what we're actually agreeing to.
Before committing to something significant, take a step back and ask:
⚖️ What am I agreeing to?
⚖️ What could go wrong?
⚖️ What am I giving up?
⚖️ What happens if I want out?
You don't need to be a lawyer to ask good questions.
And if the decision involves significant financial, commercial or legal obligations, that's often the point where getting advice can be worthwhile.

Let's start October with a question.
If you had a business lawyer sitting across from you over a coffee and could ask one question, what would it be?
It could be about contracts, employees, business partners, disputes, buying or selling a business, or something you've always wondered about.
There are no silly questions.
Drop yours below 👇
I may even turn some of the answers into future posts.

A very glamorous behind-the-scenes look at life as a lawyer!

The essentials:
💻 Laptop
📓 Notebook
🖊️ Pens
📱 Phone

And somewhere amongst all of that, hopefully a little time to actually finish my coffee while it's still hot.

After years and years of reading agreements, lawyers develop a slightly strange ability to spot things other people might skim straight past.

A sentence that seems harmless can sometimes have a very different meaning depending on the context.

That's one reason legal advice isn't simply about reading the words on a page.
It's about understanding what those words could mean for you.

What's something you always notice that other people seem to miss?

Something I always encourage clients to do, tell me everything.
Even the parts you think are irrelevant.
Even the parts you're worried might make your position look worse.
Even the details you're not sure matter.
Good legal advice starts with understanding the whole picture, including what you're trying to achieve, what has already happened and what you're concerned about.
And if you don't understand something I've explained?
Please ask.
You should never leave a legal appointment nodding along while secretly thinking, ""I have absolutely no idea what she just said.""
📌 Save this post before your next meeting with a lawyer.
It could help you get much more out of the conversation.
