Corporate/M&A

Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP’s experienced Corporate team know you need practical legal and commercial advice, without the risk of incurring unexpected costs.

We help businesses, and their owners, with:

• starting up companies and joint ventures
• attracting and making investment
• mergers, acquisitions and disposals (including MBOs)
• banking
• regulating relationships between shareholders (including fall outs)
• insolvency and corporate recovery
• commercial contracts
• competition law and fair trading
• international transactions

We focus on developing a good relationship with all our clients. As part of that attitude, we aim to operate a "no surprises" and flexible approach to fees.

We can be your wordsmiths for commercial contracts like agency, distribution and supply contracts, or standard terms of business. Avoiding double meanings and ambiguities when drafting a contract means avoiding litigation at the end of it. Standard documents are useful, but you will need bespoke documents for new relationships and circumstances.

If you’re starting up in business or growing a business, we know that a building without foundations does not last. We can help with practical structures tailored for you.

Our insolvency skills help to avoid terminal decline. Our aim is to focus on business viability for the future.

We take pride in providing our clients with pragmatic and clear advice with a view to enabling them to achieve their goals.
