Commercial

At Gorvins, we recognise that the success of any business is dependent upon making its commercial and trading relationships work effectively. Where you need legal advice, agreements or other legal documents, they must be tailored to meet the needs and requirements of your business so that they are an effective tool, rather than a barrier to your success.

Gorvins’ commercial team has many years experience of working with our clients to deliver advice that works for the benefit of their businesses. We take the time to understand our clients’ needs, and what they are looking to achieve, and make sure that our advice helps to move business forward and, where possible, gives you a competitive edge. We will agree a timetable and budget with you for the work that we do, and we will honour that agreement.

Whether you are a newly established business, or one that has been trading for many years, we can help you strike the right balance between legal and commercial requirements in all of your:

  • Business systems;
  • Commercial contracts;
  • Terms and conditions of trading; and
  • Supply agreements.


Where you are looking to expand your horizons, our clear and commercially focused advice will help you decide the correct approach for you to adopt and ensure that the relationship works for you now, and in the long term, whether you proceed through:

  • Agency/distribution;
  • Franchising;
  • Outsourcing; or
  • Joint venture.


Where you need advice in even the most complex areas of commercial law, Gorvins’ lawyers have the in-depth expertise to help you:

  • Our International Trade team will work with you to help your business develop its international aspects, helping you achieve the maximum return with minimum risk;
  • Whether you rely on trade secrets or on company artwork and straplines, our Intellectual property team can advise you on all aspects of business protection, from registration of trademarks to High Court actions;
  • All businesses depend upon their IT. Our IT team can help you with all your system procurement, maintenance and outsourcing requirements;
  • Where you need to meet the requirements of the increasingly regulated business world. Whether you rely on Consumer Credit agreements or encounter competition/anti-trust issues, our Regulatory team will be able to guide you through the red tape, and take action on your behalf where necessary.

When you work with Gorvins’ commercial team, you can be confident that we will always get the job done on time, on budget, and in a way that adds value to your business. We are lawyers who do the business, for business.
