I was just thinking this week about the way in which my business clients ask for my help. Here are some examples from the last few days.
I was just thinking this week about the way in which my business clients ask for my help. Here are some examples from the last few days.
Can I sign this contract? Should we embark on this joint venture with another company and how do we do that? We’ve worked on a ‘handshake’ with a firm in Holland for ten years but our new owners want something more solid, can you help? Can you “do” an EMI scheme?
These queries are framed as business objectives. They are not requests for a distributorship agreement, a JV agreement, resolutions, minutes, scheme rules and option agreements. Such documents record the intentions but we help with advice on the structure and means to deliver what the client wants and don’t only produce a nice suite of documents. We try to answer clients’ questions in clients’ language, the language of business.

Many people assume that only someone named in a Will can challenge it. In reality, a person does not always need to be included as a beneficiary to contest a Will. In certain circumstances, someone who has been left out may still have legal standing to bring a claim.
When buying or selling a business, the sale documentation must clearly set out who is responsible if something later goes wrong. Two of the most important protections in a business sale are warranties and indemnities.
The requirement to be physically present is absolute. A signature cannot be witnessed online via a video call like Zoom or FaceTime, or even through a window.
A power of attorney does not continue after death. When the donor dies, the authority granted to the attorney ends immediately. There is no grace period, and the attorney stops acting from the point of the donor’s death.
