Commercial contracts expertise, handling complex as well as routine contractual activity, much of it leading edge on groundbreaking projects. We recognise that supporting our Clients in structuring, drafting, negotiating, reviewing and concluding contracts is a specialism in its own right so the division is not merely a support function for other practice groups. We also harness our specialist knowledge to develop innovative solutions and services to help our Clients with day-to-day commercial and business activity such as our unique contract management service  - a fusion of legal know-how and smart technology. Our integrated approach ensures that Contracting services are provided through a single team which shares a clear understanding of our Clients’ commercial objectives, and offers an innovative suite of legal services to support them in achieving those goals throughout the lifecycle of their business.

Investigating and considering an action before consummating it, drilling down on the facts and legal risks of a transaction, combing through appropriate materials with a focus on two categories: determining current status and consequences of the contemplated action. By determining the current status we help our Client set the stage for determination of consequences, but it also helps the Client value a target (including spot any hidden risks or liabilities) and figure out what they have once they get it (i.e. what the contracts of its newly acquired subsidiary actually say when it comes time to run the new business). By determining the outcomes we help lay the foundation for making the consequences of an action as favorable as possible to the Client. At this stage Patronus Legal will consider whether there are any impediments on the Client and target sides to doing the transaction (e.g. provisions in governing documents or applicable laws that restrict new stock issuances, laws or contracts that restrict ability to change control, enter a new businesses or expand). We shall consider our findings from the due diligence investigation in structuring the transaction, drafting transaction documents and preparing relevant legal opinions.

Overseeing the legal aspects of our Client's general commercial and day-to-day business activities.

In this capacity we give accurate and timely advice and counsel to executives within our areas of expertise, research and evaluate different risk factors regarding business decisions and operations, apply effective risk management techniques and offer proactive advise on possible legal issues, provide clarification on legal language or specifications to everyone in the organization, keep abreast of legislative changes that may affect our Client and its affiliates, provide training to the Client, its affiliates and their employees on substantive legal topics.

Structured according to the industries our Clients work in, we bring our deep sector expertise to your dispute ensuring you will always receive advice in the context of your own market. Where your dispute cannot be resolved in any other way, we have the expertise and resources to ensure your dispute is pursued through litigation and arbitration, including, where necessary, appeals and challenges to the highest courts and tribunals. We advise our Clients on international arbitration (both commercial and investor-state), litigation (either of the underlying dispute or in support of arbitral proceedings), expert determination, adjudication and mediation.

There has been a paradigm shift in the way businesses are required to operate. Regulation is a feature of virtually every industry and is only increasing. Cross-border cooperation between regulators is commonplace. When a regulatory body launches an investigation, the stakes are high and you need the best advice possible. Our experienced team is there to help you through it. But you do not have to wait for an investigation to benefit from our services. Our legal advice also ensures that you are fully compliant and fully prepared. We can advise you on everything from managing the risks inherent in your organisation to preparing for dawn raids. If an investigation does strike, we will help you gather the facts, respond to the regulator and manage your reputation.
