Commercial law, also known as mercantile law or trade law, is the body of law that applies to the rights, relations, and conduct of persons and businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade, and sales. It is often considered to be a branch of civil law and deals with issues of both private law and public law.

We have hundreds of commercial law specialists

Common tasks

Land has been an ever-present asset class throughout history. With that, comes the need for legal advice on its ownership, transfer and occupation. In modern times, property law may be split into personal and commercial categories. The former deals with residential matters such as the purchase and sale of leasehold and freehold titles, remortgagings and land disputes. Commercial property law covers transactions relating to business premises, such as offices, warehouses and retail spaces.

Litigation refers to the process of resolving disputes via the court system, and may be considered in two categories: civil and commercial. Civil litigation deals with disputes between two people, whereas commercial litigation resolves disputes involving at least one non-human entity, such as a business. This practice area is adversarial and requires the court to consider both black letter law and the context of the dispute to reach a verdict. Saying this, many cases never reach court and are settled well in advance.

Employment law covers the relationship between workforces and employers. In the UK, an individual may be an employee, a worker or a self-employed contractor. Each employment status offers different protections, and an individual is categorised based on the type of work they do, its frequency, and the nature of the relationship with the employer/client. This practice area covers both contentious and non-contentious legal work, and is governed by an extensive web of legislation and guidance.

Our paralegals and lawyers are on hand to help with reviewing policies, supporting redundancies or leading investigations.

Corporate law is a sub-branch of commercial law which specifically concerns the governance of companies. This area deals with company mergers and acquisitions, restructurings and insolvency proceedings. As companies have a board of directors and shareholders, all of whom have rights and obligations, corporate lawyers often act in an advisory role to offer commercially sensitive legal advice to clients. Typical duties may include drafting contracts and legal documents, taking minutes at board meetings, and assisting with IPOs/delistings of companies from the stock market.
