Most start-ups spend more time choosing a logo than choosing their business structure.

One decision affects your brand identity. The other can affect ownership, liability, investment opportunities and even your eventual exit strategy.

The reality is that many of the biggest business problems we see don't start with marketing decisions. They start with legal structures that were never designed to support growth.

You have built a successful business.

You've grown turnover, created jobs and established long-term value.

So why could that success create challenges if you divorce?

The answer is more complicated than many business owners realise.

Our latest article explores a common misconception that catches many directors and shareholders by surprise.

The business structure that works when you're a one-person start-up may become a barrier when you're trying to attract investment, bring in a new owner or sell the business.

Growth changes everything.

The challenge isn't choosing a structure for the business you have today. It's choosing one that supports the business you want to become.

Our latest article explores the risks of overlooking this critical decision.

Many business partnerships are built on trust, shared ambition and strong working relationships.

Unfortunately, trust alone does not answer difficult questions when circumstances change. What happens if a partner wants to leave? How are major decisions made? What if one partner contributes more than another?

Having these conversations early and recording them in a partnership agreement can help avoid uncertainty and future disputes.

If you'd like advice on partnership agreements or business succession planning, our Corporate & Commercial team is here to help.

🚨 Waiting for your house purchase to progress?

Most people assume the solicitor is responsible when a transaction takes longer than expected.

In reality, delays are often caused by mortgage lenders, property chains, management companies, missing paperwork and other factors behind the scenes.

Our latest blog reveals the causes that buyers and sellers often overlook.

Most people blame HM Land Registry backlogs when property registrations are delayed.

But what if the real issue is much closer to home?

Nearly one in five applications receives a requisition, often because of avoidable errors such as incorrect names, missing information or inconsistencies within supporting documents. As HM Land Registry introduces increasingly sophisticated digital validation checks, the emphasis is shifting from processing delays to application accuracy.

In our latest article, James Burgess explores what these changes mean for homeowners, developers and property professionals, and why getting an application right first time is becoming more important than ever.

Informal agreements

“We agreed everything between ourselves, so that’s enough.”

Informal agreements can feel reassuring, but they don’t always provide long‑term certainty.

A quick legal review can prevent disputes months or years later.

Who Gets the Final Say? Understanding Parental Responsibility

Can an ex-partner change your child's school without asking you?

Do both parents have a say in major medical decisions?

Can grandparents ever obtain parental responsibility?

These are just some of the questions we regularly hear from parents navigating separation and family disputes.

Our new Parent's Guide to Parental Responsibility explains who has parental responsibility, what it means in practice, and how important decisions about a child's education, healthcare, travel and future should be made.

Whether you're a parent, step-parent, grandparent or guardian, understanding the legal position can help avoid confusion and reduce conflict.
