Working Across Nelsons

Commercial contracts don’t exist in isolation — they often intersect with other areas of law. At Nelsons, our Commercial Team works closely with specialist colleagues across the firm to ensure you receive seamless, joined-up advice whenever your matter crosses into other disciplines.

While our Commercial Team focuses on the trading agreements and commercial arrangements that drive your business forward, other teams at Nelsons can assist with:

• Employment contracts and workplace matters — Our Employment Law Team advises on contracts of employment, service agreements for directors, restrictive covenants, settlement agreements, and all aspects of HR and employment law compliance. Whether you’re hiring, restructuring, or managing a departure, they can help.
• Buying or selling a business — Our Corporate Team handles mergers, acquisitions, management buyouts, share sales, and business asset purchases. If you’re looking to grow through acquisition, bring in investment, or plan your exit, they provide expert guidance through every stage of the transaction.
• Commercial property transactions— Our Commercial Property Team advises on leases, purchases, sales, development projects, and landlord and tenant matters. Whether you’re taking on new premises, expanding your footprint, or negotiating lease terms, they can support you.
  By working together across teams, we ensure that nothing falls between the gaps — and that the commercial, employment, corporate and property aspects of your business are all properly aligned.
