Commercial contracts & transactions


International commercial transactions advice

The world has become much smaller, opening up many new business opportunities. Variations in law, regulation and practice, (particularly in areas that affect commercial transactions) can still present potential stumbling blocks.

Irwin Mitchell has a strong corporate law practice and our lawyers are able to advise in a variety of areas, from cross border business acquisitions and international joint ventures to financings and public offerings. We are always available to provide commercial, practical legal advice to our clients, whether in the context of major international transactional work, or on more day-to-day issues.


Our experience in international commercial contracts & transactions

Understanding our clients' businesses and working closely with them at all levels enables us to provide the legal advice you need in the optimum way. We recognise that each client and each deal is unique, and our responsive, partner-led teams are structured accordingly.

A major transaction is a significant event for any business, often involving complex negotiations and the preparation of detailed legal documents. Our expert practitioners will guide you through the steps involved and help you negotiate terms that work for you and your business. The Irwin Mitchell team has unrivalled experience in many industry sectors and has been involved in many high profile transactions, including:

Advising the Caribbean's largest ISP on its simultaneous flotation in London and Barbados

The simultaneous acquisition in five countries of a manufacturing business and its overseas subsidiaries for a UK purchaser with private equity funding
