Vertex Law

Our Commercial team, headed by Jeremy Licence, is dedicated to the day-to-day needs of your business, wherever you are. Vertex has a specialist team for this, which is separate from the corporate team which deals with mergers and acquisitions. This separation is unique and means that time consuming and urgent M&A work will never get in the way of equally important commercial matters which are central to every business.
 
Each lawyer in the team has a wealth of practical experience and our project management skills enable us to co-ordinate the entire process, no matter how large or small, working closely with your external advisors, to ensure the desired outcome is achieved.
 
The Commercial law team will be able to help at all levels of your business. We really work as a team and enjoy working together and with you.
