As a leading regional practice we are dedicated to provide high quality commercial advice with substantial experience from our teams in both our Rugby and Banbury offices. We advise on all aspects of commercial work including acquisitions/disposals, commercial property, IP/IT and employment matters.
Brian Auld is the partner responsible for Brethertons’ ‘Team Commercial’ practice. We provide a full range of commercial legal services including the buying and selling of business, MBOs/MBIs, corporate investment/restructuring and associated commercial agreements.
Brethertons’ specialises in helping entrepreneurs and company directors to realise their assets in the preparation and sale of businesses, together with transactional work associated with corporate finance activity and investments.
Clients tell us that they value our dedicated approach, competitive rates and progressive IT solutions which reduce the burden in complicated transactions or contracts.
Our open plan environment for our teams is part of our commitment to providing a full range of specialist services across a broad spectrum and with lawyers acting together to support clients rather than as individuals focusing on single issues.
Brethertons has grown rapidly in the past 3 years, occupying 5 office locations in Rugby and Banbury. We are a high growth, progressive, regional law firm with a strong commercial and private client offering.
We help our clients achieve their corporate ambitions.
