Commercial

Winckworth Sherwood advises a wide range of public and private sector organisations on the full range of commercial contracts. As well as handling the fine detail we are alive to the big picture, alerting clients to unforeseen hazards and helping to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Our dynamic and growing commercial law team is skilled in company and commercial contract law, and has developed an impressive track record acting for a variety of clients on high value transactions.

More recent deals include establishing the Rail Safety and Standards Board, a private company born out of Lord Cullen's inquiry into Ladbroke Grove; advising on joint venture arrangements for the development of land adjacent to the new Arsenal Football Stadium; advising a developer on a joint venture arrangement for the redevelopment of Watford Junction railway station; and advising a consortium member on John Prescott’s much-publicised proposal to produce 15,000 key worker homes in London through arrangements with house builders.

From this excellent base we have built a busy commercial law practice while still maintaining our core values. These include  basing ourselves outside the City and being good people to work with by balancing professional commitment with breadth of vision.
 
All this means that our clients enjoy a more responsive, efficient service than they would normally receive from a big City firm. In particular, clients know that we tailor the team specifically to the nature and size of the transaction.

If your experience of dealing with commercial lawyers differs from this, maybe you should think about talking to us.
