Corporate
Buying, selling and restructuring owner-managed companies, and keeping the paperwork behind them honest.
- Share and asset purchases
- Shareholder agreements
- Reorganisations and buy-outs
- Commercial contracts
Clear advice, at the point it is still useful.
Most people call us later than they should, usually because they were not sure the question was big enough to be worth a solicitor’s time. It almost always is, and it is almost always cheaper then.
We act for owner-managed businesses and the families behind them, in commercial, property and employment matters. Three partners, no departments, and the person you meet at the first appointment is the person who does the work.
Practice areas
Three things, in depth.
Property
Commercial leases and development work, plus residential conveyancing for existing clients and their families.
- Leases, renewals and dilapidations
- Site acquisition and development
- Conveyancing
- Title and easement disputes
Employment
Advice for employers before a problem becomes a claim, and representation when it already has.
- Contracts and handbooks
- Disciplinary and grievance process
- Settlement agreements
- Tribunal representation
Fees
Published, because being asked is not an insult.

Our people
Three partners. No departments.
M. Ardmore
Corporate
Twenty-two years acting for businesses between five and fifty staff. Reads every document before it goes out, which is why some of them take a day longer.
S. Kelly
Property
Commercial leases and development. Has read more dilapidations schedules than anyone should, and will tell you when a survey is worth the money.
R. Nolan
Employment
Advises employers on the process before the dispute, which is unglamorous and roughly the whole job.
