Commercial Law

RKM Law has a flair for commercial matters. Our team is adequately skilled and experienced to handle any commercial matter, and we are supported by a very strong network of different experts who usually get involved when your matter requires some specialist input, like an expert report. This helps to make your case stronger and more promising.

Commercial disputes have never been the sweetest thing ever. It is daunting, tiring, and stressful. It can be very expensive if the foundation of your case is not prepared diligently and tactically.

We are based in the UK but have taken on matters from businesses registered in foreign territories. Some of our complex commercial matters were not limited to English law but involved a great involvement of International Treaties, regulations, and foreign laws, especially where disputes arose among parties from different jurisdictions in Europe and other parts of the world.

Our commercial work ranges from drafting legal documents, advising on contracts, company matters, and insolvency through to representing you in court for hearings and trials. Investors, franchisors, and franchisees benefit further as we can assist in the formation of their businesses’ structures and getting all the agreements, intellectual property rights, and licences ready. Our experienced solicitors and advocates have represented clients in the High Court (Chancery, Commercial, and Queen’s Bench Divisions) and the Court of Appeal (Civil Division).

Let RKM Law Be Your Retainer

RKM Law strongly believes in prevention rather than cure. The most common legal hazard is particularly entering into an agreement without appropriate advice or engaging in some additional activities or transactions that may be construed as part of your contract or implied to be a change of terms by conduct. Business owners often get lured by future gains and overlook the downside of signing a contract. You should remember that a newly signed contract is just the beginning, and well begun is half done.

RKM Law has extensive experience in dealing with commercial matters. While adopting a client-focused approach, we take time to understand your business and objectives before providing you with tailored legal solutions that align with your objectives.
