Our team of commercial experts can provide a wide range of essential services and advice, keeping your business protected and enabling you to deal with legal issues quickly and effectively.
Documents
The best way to manage relationships or run a business is to have written terms, which clearly set out each party’s responsibilities. If there are disagreements or a problem arises, these terms provide a clear point of reference to help manage issues proportionately and amicably and can ultimately help to avoid the company losing money, losing business and suffering damage to it’s reputation.
Our wide range of expertise allows us to offer many drafting options which include:
- Commercial Leases
- Commercial Litigation
- Commercial Contract Advice
- Terms and Conditions of Business
- Shareholder Agreements and Company Law Advice
- Partnership Agreements, Dissolution Agreements and Partnership Law Advice
- Share Purchase Agreements
- Asset Purchase Agreements
- Deeds of Novation
- Deeds of Trust
- Employment Contracts
Sales & Purchases
If you are considering selling or purchasing a business, then you must ensure that you have the right team of well-trained professions in place to assist you throughout what can be a timely and technical process.
The team at Johnson and Boon can assist you with every step of the process including all stages of early negotiation, due diligence, disclosure and drafting right though to the preparation of the finalised contracts and completion.
In complex matters we can also assist you with the instruction of other professionals whose advice you may need to complete the process.
Disputes
Business disputes will inevitably arise. It is important that when they do, you seek early, reliable advice as to what steps should be taken to prevent them from escalating and damaging your business.
At Johnson and Boon we provide jargon-free, cost-effective advice to assist with either negotiations or court proceedings.
Business Interruption
The coronavirus pandemic lockdown resulted in a significant numbers of UK businesses having to temporarily close down, or drastically reduce their operations. This has caused considerable loss of income and other damage – and in many cases this continues to be the case.
Many businesses have business interruption insurance as an extension to their usual commercial policy on the understanding that it would cover loss of income and damage during periods when they could not operate as usual due to an unexpected event, such as the current pandemic.
Many are finding that their insurers are either failing to confirm these losses are covered under their business interruption policy, or have declined cover completely.
A test case has now been brought in the High Court by the Financial Conduct Authority against eight insurers to resolve some key contractual uncertainties and issues to provide clarity for policyholders and insurers.
The team at Johnson and Boon can help you bring an action where insurers have refused to provide coverage for losses that have been caused by the lockdown measures and Covid-19 under your business interruption policies.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COSTS
Commercial work is charged at £230.40 (£192 + £38.40 VAT) per hour, in addition to disbursements which might include, although not exclusively, court fees, barristers fees etc.
It is impossible to provide an estimate of costs without knowing the specific circumstances of each case, because the amount of work required will depend upon the nature of the advice required.
We charge an initial consultation fee of £60 (£50 + £10 VAT), which is deducted from the total costs charge on your case upon receipt of instructions to proceed.
The above mentioned hourly rate may be subject to variation in the case of disputes of over £100,000 or those matters which include complex circumstances.
A NO OBLIGATION quote for legal costs on your case will be provided following an initial consultation. This will detail all the work that will be included within that price. No work will be undertaken until you have understood and agreed to that quote.
A estimate timescale will also be provided for key stages in the case. These are estimates only due to them being influenced by conduct of the parties, court workloads etc.
There may be unforeseen circumstances which require that quote to be revised. This may relate to an increase in value, complexity or due to a factor otherwise previously unknown. You will be advised should such an occasion arise. We will advice on the nature of that circumstance, why it has impacted upon the original costs quotation and we will provide a revised quote for your consideration and approval.
No such additional costs will be incurred until these have been understood and approved by you.
