At Rubric Law, our commercial lawyers help businesses structure and negotiate agreements that are not only legally robust but commercially effective. With decades of collective experience advising SMEs, fast-growth companies, and corporate groups, we know how to tailor our advice to your objectives while protecting your long-term interests.
We support clients with the full spectrum of commercial law matters. This includes the drafting and negotiation of core business agreements such as supply contracts, licence agreements, and terms of business. Our team ensures that contracts are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your commercial goals. Whether you’re a supplier, purchaser, franchisor, or service provider, we help you manage risk and strengthen your position.
Our expertise extends to strategic partnerships and joint ventures, where careful drafting is essential to avoid disputes and ensure alignment of expectations. We also advise on intellectual property matters, ensuring that your brand, products, and confidential information are protected and properly commercialised.
One of the ways we differentiate ourselves is through our integrated approach to M&A. Commercial arrangements often sit at the heart of a transaction, and our commercial lawyers work hand-in-hand with our M&A team to assess key commercial risks, review trading contracts during due diligence, and negotiate transitional and post-completion arrangements. In large or complicated deals, our ability to combine commercial and corporate expertise adds real value and ensures nothing is overlooked.
As a full-service firm, we also support businesses with employment, real estate, and corporate legal advice, giving you joined-up support across every legal discipline. This makes us particularly effective when dealing with larger, multi-faceted transactions where commercial documentation plays a critical role.
Whether you’re scaling your operations, restructuring your group, or preparing for sale, our commercial law team has the depth and insight to deliver agreements that support your next phase of growth.
If you have any questions regarding any of our services, please get in touch.
We’re extremely proud of our 5 star rating
