Expected duration: Ongoing I’m a London-based start-up founder seeking an independent business and contract lawyer to assist in structuring a restaurant management contract with a former employer.
This is a unique situation that requires not only strong contract and employment law expertise but also the ability to navigate family-business relationships with professionalism and clarity. I need legal guidance to ensure a structured and fair agreement while keeping negotiations productive and professional.
Beyond this specific task, I am also looking for a long-term legal consultant who can work closely with me on an ongoing basis for both business and personal legal matters as my company grows. I strongly prefer to work directly with one familiar individual or, at the very least, have a consistent single advisor/consultant overseeing all legal matters, rather than dealing with multiple contacts within a firm. A personal and easy-going approach is highly valued.
Ideal Lawyer: ✔️ Specializes in contract law, employment law & business negotiations ✔️ Has experience handling family-involved business agreements ✔️ Can offer ongoing legal support for both business and personal matters ✔️ Provides clear, practical legal advice in sensitive discussions ✔️ Works independently or in a small practice (not a large firm) ✔️ Values a direct, personal working relationship over a corporate approach ✔️ Ensures continuity by being the primary point of contact for legal matters
