What we do

A business solicitor for owner managed companies.

An owner managed company needs a solicitor at a handful of moments: signing a contract, taking a lease, bringing in or parting with a shareholder, chasing a debt, hiring, and protecting the brand. Each of those is a fixed fee here.

CONTRACTS

Commercial contracts

Customer and supplier agreements, terms and conditions and NDAs, drafted or reviewed before you sign.

PREMISES

Commercial leases

Lease review and risk report for tenants and landlords, and the heads of terms before the lease is drafted.

OWNERS

Shareholders agreements

Leaver, drag and tag, reserved matters, deadlock and exit value, agreed while everyone is still aligned.

THE BOARD

Companies Act and governance

Board and shareholder resolutions and directors' duties, so the company record holds up later.

GETTING PAID

Letter before action

The pre action letter that sets out the debt, the interest and a deadline, on solicitor letterhead.

STAFF AND BRAND

Employment documents and trade marks

Employment contracts and policies for employers, and UK trade mark filing within 48 hours.

Fees

Business solicitor fees: the fixed fee schedule.

FAST, BY DESIGN

Written advice within 24 hours of instruction. Trademarks filed within 48 hours of instruction. Documents in days, not weeks. Never "3 to 5 business days" just to hear back.

FIXED FEES: agreed in writing before any work begins. The fee quoted is the fee paid, and it does not change after you accept it.

Common questions

Business solicitor FAQs.

What does a business solicitor do for an owner managed company?

The documents and letters a company needs to trade: customer and supplier contracts, the lease on your premises, the agreement between the owners, board and shareholder resolutions, employment contracts, debt letters and your trade marks. Each is a fixed fee piece of work with its own price on the schedule above.

Why is there no VAT?

No VAT is charged on any fee on this site, so the price quoted is the price paid. A firm charging the same fee would add VAT at 20% on top.

Do we need to meet or call?

No. Everything is handled in writing, by email or WhatsApp: you send the documents, the fee is confirmed in writing, and the work comes back in writing. Replies within the hour in business hours.

Is there a monthly retainer?

Yes, for companies that want priority written advice and a document allowance: corporate retainers from £995 a month. Most owner managed companies start with a single fixed fee piece of work.

Who does the work?

Santosh Pandey, Solicitor of England and Wales (SRA 641612). Western Legal Corporation Limited is not itself authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority; regulation is personal to the solicitor.

What is not on the schedule?

Company formation, share transfers and allotments, and buying or selling a business are not offered at present. Court proceedings are outside the schedule; our role is everything up to court.
