You, Corporate & Commercial
& Ince, in any case
We are an international practice which offers practical, effective advice covering all aspects of corporate life from the inception of a business idea or concept through to IPO and beyond. We bring in and work closely with our colleagues in other departments and Group practice areas to ensure that our clients’ needs are fully met.
We pride ourselves in getting to know our clients and to understand their business needs. We work with our clients in a wide range of market sectors and include start-ups, entrepreneurs, family offices, private equity houses, venture capitalists, financial institutions, private and public companies and multinational corporations. All deals are led by one of our partners, who will provide commercial, clear and imaginative advice. We have worked on complex multi-jurisdictional transactions and regularly co-ordinate complex overseas transactions.
Our corporate team covers transactional work such as M&A, IPOs and fund-raisings as well as more general corporate advisory work, including corporate governance, regulatory compliance and restructurings.
On the financing side we can provide the sophisticated financial and banking know-how that complex corporate transactions often require.
For our listed clients and those who aspire to IPO and list on a public market we have a dedicated capital markets team who have acted for companies and advisers on AIM and London Stock Exchange listings across a variety of sectors for many years. We have an almost unique insight into this most complex and technical world from the perspective of the business and its managers having advised The Ince Group plc on its IPO and listing on AIM in August 2017.
We are also able to provide full corporate support and have a dedicated company secretarial team, if required.
We are a business ourselves and our commercial team fully understands our clients’ need to have strong commercial arrangements in place. We aim to produce pragmatic, clear and fair contracts that get our clients where they need to be. Good commercial agreements encourage performance and discourage disputes. However, if a dispute should arise it’s important to feel confident that the agreement provides protection and the underlying commercial venture as well as your capital is de-risked as far as possible.

News / COVID-19: Getting ready for sale during the pandemic
07-05-2020 /
The pandemic will undoubtedly brew uncertainty in M&A transactions. Many potential sellers who had hoped to sell their business will be reconsidering whether this is the right time. Likewise buyers, may find funding difficult and question whether such an investment is wise during this time. In either scenario, the negotiation process is likely to be drawn out. In order to therefore maintain the momentum of the sale process, prospective sellers should utilise this time to get their ‘house in order’. This will allow sellers to package the business to be sold so that it can continue to operate on a day-to-day basis, but also give them flexibility to move to a sale process at short notice at the optimal time.
News / Common Legal Queries in the UAE
28-04-2020 /
Aside from the impact of Covid-19 and its legal implications, we have been asked several legal questions during the first three months of this year related to employment or banking operations. In these questions and answers, we will focus on the rights granted to the employer to compel the employee to take paid leave and the remuneration to be paid to the employee during such leave. On the banking side, we will tackle issues related to the termination of a credit agreement for an indefinite period, the right for the bank to refuse payment of an unconditional guarantee, and the time bar granted to a creditor in order to claim his debt and to benefit from the surety issued in his favour.
