Business & Corporate Law
From start-ups to established multi-national businesses, our commercial and corporate team are here to support you.
What Is the Difference Between Corporate Law and Commercial Law?
We are often asked this question by prospective clients. They aren't always sure whether the legal advice they need relates to a corporate law matter or is of a nature that requires a commercial lawyer.
In general terms, corporate law refers to matters that relate to the structuring or restructuring of a company as well as acquisitions and mergers.
Commercial law covers a wider range of legal services that include litigation, contracts, intellectual property and insurance matters.
There is a great deal of overlap between the two areas of law, and most commercial solicitors have considerable experience in advising on corporate law matters and vice versa. That’s certainly the case with Spencers commercial and corporate solicitors.

At Robinson Ravani & Co, we are well versed in looking after the interests of our business clients on a long-term and day to day basis. Our experienced team of solicitors will help you to understand the complex laws and regulations that come hand in hand with running a business.
We are mindful that different rules of business will apply, depending upon your own business ventures and we strive to tailor our knowledge and experience to your specific case. We assist at every stage of a business’s life cycle. Our corporate solicitors routinely work with clients throughout the expanse of a wide range of sectors.
At Robinson Ravani & Co we have the necessary resources, experience and expertise to deal with your legal issues punctually and meticulously.
Together with aiding you in growing your business, our expert solicitors can provide sustenance for corporate advisory service. Here, our expert corporate lawyers will assist you in planning the structure and management of your business, making concessions for your commercial and tax considerations.
Business Contracts
We can assist SMEs with both business-to-business and business-to-consumer issues. We are able to spot potential problems early, negotiate effectively and help manage risk in your business contracts and documents.
We are proactive in eliminating legal shortcomings in both standard and bespoke contract terminology, and offer practical advice on important issues such as limitation of liability, trading restrictions and insurance.
We can assist with the preparation of a wide range of commercial contracts, including:
Agency Agreements
Guarantees
Joint Venture Agreements
Partnership Agreements
Sale of Goods and Services
Terms and Conditions of Trading
Commercial Solicitors for Entrepreneurs
We understand you want to focus on your business without any unnecessary distractions. That’s why we are here to take care of every legal issue your company might have.
Start-Ups
Getting the foundations right will determine how you develop your product, the ways you can expand, and your tax position. We can help create your company and the constitutional documents such as the Articles of Association and advise you on directors’ duties, disclosures or removals. We can also advise of the most appropriate legal structure and on regulatory issues.
Scale-Ups
Whilst your company is expanding, it is also important to think about the future and try to shape that future in your favour. We can help you by drafting a Shareholders’ Agreement or an Investment Agreement that will protect your interests whilst ensuring that much needed funding for expansion is secured.
It is important to always keep in mind of where you wish to end up and quite often in business that is a successful exit. The journey from incorporation to exit is a long one and, if there is more than one shareholder, it will be full of friction and grey areas, especially as the vision for the business or the strategy to be pursued might differ. You do not wish this to affect your final compensation, thus, a well-drafted Shareholders’ Agreement is key.
SME’s
We can also assist you with selling or buying a business as our team has dealt with many M&A transactions. We will make sure that due diligence is correctly done, all uncertainties are brought to your attention and the appropriate W&I insurance is taken. Our commercial approach to negotiation is aimed towards reducing the time it is needed to close the transaction and increasing the protections you receive from the other side.
Another important aspect of your business is your suppliers. Your commercial contracts with them should provide you with predictability and, should any disagreement about timings, quality, or price arise, there should be clear procedures for dealing with it in an inexpensive and quick manner that ensures business continuity.
We can also help with corporate restructuring, especially pursuant debt restructuring, tax advice, employment issues, or Brexit advice.

What Our Clients Say
“ I recently appointed Robinson Ravani Solicitors in the purchase of my investment flat and the whole process was so seamless and efficient from start to finish. I know a lot of hard work was performed behind the scene with paperwork being scrutinised and problems found and rectified before these were given to me, all credit going to Gurdip Gill. I definitely recommend them and will use them again in a heartbeat.”
