General Counsel Services

Get legal and commercial support in hand when you need it.

For companies looking for someone to take over their commercial contract requirements. We combine general counsel legal services with commercial support to offer our outsourced ‘General Commercial Contract Counsel’ service.

David and Stephen have over 50 years of combined legal and commercial experience. Having practised within law firms and in-house solicitor roles, they bring the ideal blend of comprehensive legal experience and commercial acumen and experience.

General counsel services are ideal for startups and early-stage businesses looking for the benefits of in-house counsel but without budget exposure. This service gives you access to the equivalent of an in-house team member that will take on all of your commercial contract matters.

The service also suits larger organisations looking to bolster their in-house team with a specialist commercial and corporate contract advisory resource.

Across many business types there is a gaping requirement for robust, available, day to day legal contract support. That said, most small and mid sized businesses don’t need a full time team member.

  • General commercial contract advice
  • Contract drafting and review support
  • Commercial contract negotiations and strategic advice

Client Love

The Forward Law team have supported my business and myself for over seven years. Their practical and commercial approach to legal consultancy is refreshing compared to the legal services I've received from many top tier city firms.

I have never worked with such a responsive legal practice. David and Stephen are our go to advisers for all commercial legal matters. We are always delighted with their response times and work ethic. As an accountancy firm they are also our go to recommended advisors for the start-ups and fast growth companies that we work with.
