ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT
This is another niche practice that the firm has heavily invested in, the need
to advice and guide startup businesses and relatively growing companies on
the legal and regulatory Employment Law.
Employment law is a fast paced complex and dynamic field of practice. The
rights and duties of employers and employees are constantly being modified
and extended through legislation and case law, much of which is influenced
by developments and best practices in the world. With substantially
increased levels of compensation now available, sound legal advice is essential.
The financial and other consequences for the unwary employer can
therefore be serious. Effective management of human resources calls for
delicately balanced judgments. We pride ourselves on being sensitive to the
subjective requirements of our clients whilst maintaining sufficient distance
to provide objective, commercial and practical legal advice. Decisions often
need to be made quickly and clients rely on our responsiveness.

the draft and settlement of a
composite range of commercial
contracts but also include advising
on the tax and other implications
of commercial transactions,

technology law, from navigating
tangled regulatory regimes to
winning domain name disputes,

licensing agreement to engineering
acquisitions of satellite businesses,

give technology companies the
legal support they need to thrive.

and telecommunications lawyers

various legal frameworks that
