Six disciplines, one measured approach

Harrison & Cole Legal, a fictional UK firm, offers dedicated counsel across corporate, family, property, employment, commercial and civil litigation matters. Each area follows strict procedural rigour and proportionate cost advice.

Every practice area is described below: what it covers, how a typical matter proceeds, and the options that may be open to you. Each service also has its own dedicated page.

We advise on company formation, shareholder agreements, mergers and acquisitions, and governance matters. Early review of constitutional documents helps identify the options open to the business before any formal step is taken.

We provide measured guidance on separation, financial arrangements, child arrangements and related family matters. We explain each stage clearly so that you understand what to expect and which routes may be suitable.

We handle residential and commercial conveyancing, leases, boundary questions and property disputes. A documentation review at the outset clarifies title, searches and any restrictions that may affect the transaction.

We advise employers and employees on contracts, policies, redundancy processes and workplace grievances. We set out the procedural steps and the realistic options before any formal action is considered.

We review and negotiate supply agreements, distribution arrangements, licensing and commercial terms. Our advice sets out the obligations, risks and fallback positions so that decisions are made with a clear picture of the options.

We advise on contractual and commercial disputes, debt recovery and claims that may proceed through the courts. We explain the pre-action steps, the likely timescales and the proportionate choices, including alternatives to litigation.

Before any formal step is taken, every enquiry follows the same measured sequence. This ensures that the documentation is understood and the options are clear.

We review the facts of your matter and identify the area of law involved, so that the right department takes the lead.

We examine the relevant papers, deadlines and records, noting anything that may affect timing or cost.

We explain the realistic routes available, including alternatives to formal proceedings, with proportionate cost estimates.

Once you choose a route, we confirm the scope and fees in writing before any formal step is taken on your behalf.
