Corporate

Our corporate and commercial solicitors offer a full range of legal services to businesses large and small. Whether it’s a new start-up or you are financing and restructuring an established business, we are able to act swiftly to achieve your objectives.

How we can help

We are one of the region’s leading firms. With our network of offices we are ideally placed to serve businesses throughout the south west and beyond.

Serving businesses in the south west and beyond

Our corporate and commercial solicitors have built up an extensive knowledge of the region and its unique business culture. Our familiarity with the local business landscape has enabled us to assist a broad range of companies located in the South West.

If you are financing or restructuring your commercial finances we can act swiftly for both you and your lender.

Specialist knowledge

Our team of commercial solicitors has expertise in various niche business areas, including licensed businesses (such as pubs, hotels, restaurants and leisure parks), residential care institutions, IT/software developers and advertising/media companies. These are areas of business where specialist legal knowledge is not a bonus but an essential.

We offer bespoke legal solutions to your individual business problems and provide unrivalled support for your business, through the good times and the bad.

We value our client relationships

Slee Blackwell Solicitors are big enough to provide effective, specialist representation, but small enough to care about our individual business clients

Our commercial solicitors always like to develop strong and lasting relationships with the businesses they work with. They also strive to gain an insight into the particular needs of your business to ensure that each transaction runs as effectively as possible.
