At Sinnott Solicitors we pride ourselves on our extensive experience in the area of Commercial Law, particularly in the purchase and sale of businesses. We also operate a full service covering the legal implications involved in the day to day running of your business. We act for a number of companies giving advice on the legal aspects of their commercial arrangements.

It is the firm’s wish that an ongoing professional relationship is formed so that the client will want to come back to the firm regarding any day to day commercial matters and concerns that may arise in relation to the client’s business.

Day to day business can throw up a variety of issues. You will want to make sure, for example, that any standard Contracts you may use in your business are up to date and take account of changes in the law. For instance the Interest in Commercial Contract Regulations now allow you to charge interest on unpaid debts after 30 days. You might wish to include a clause to this effect in your standard terms and conditions of sale. You will find us proactive, by informing you about new legislation or cases that may impact on this area.
