Company Commercial Solicitors based in Southampton United Kingdom

Established in 2001, Lawdit Solicitors has its main office in Southampton, a managed office for meetings in London, associate offices in Marbella and Rome. Our continued success has been built on hard work, the extensive knowledge of our commercial solicitors and of course, the relationships with our loyal and supportive clients.

As commercial law experts, we place particular emphasis on several law areas which are outlined below. We can also help your business trade more effectively in the UK and beyond, by providing legal advice on mergers, acquisitions and business sales.

Intellectual Property

Intellectual property (IP) is defined as a product of the intellect bearing some form of commercial value. This term applies to any "creation of the mind", such as artistic and literary works, trade secrets, inventions (patents), copyrights and trademarks. Intellectual property rights are therefore of paramount importance to your business.

If you own Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), our IP 3 experts are able to assist in drafting the commercial agreements that focus on exploitation of IP rights including all forms of licensing, distribution, sponsorship, franchising, co-marketing and co-promotion arrangements, R&D, collaboration and technology transfer agreements.

Escrow Services

Escrow is a legal term which means, "money, goods or a written document, held by a trusted third party, pending the fulfillment of some condition". Software escrow, website escrow and database escrow services allow your business to access critical assets and continue to conduct business as normal, without disruption.

Lawdit’s escrow solicitors will hold your highly valuable business assets, only releasing them pending a number of triggers which will be implemented in accordance with the escrow agreement drafted by our legal experts. The key to escrow is the involvement of a trusted third party, such as Lawdit.

Buying/Selling a Business

Buying or selling businesses (online or offline) present a number of complicated and challenging issues. As a firm of commercial solicitors we specialise in buying and selling of businesses. We guide you through the difficult process of buying or selling businesses, making sure that the correct steps are taken and informed decisions are made. Our goal is to help you build an advisory team that is able to assist through every step of the way, from negotiations to preparing draft documents, finalizing the documents, signing, registering and filing.

Copyright Law

Copyright law protects the skill labour and effort in your work. Copyright is a form of property and if your work is copied then we can help you enforce your rights. Copyright law protects several main types of work including: literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works.

The original creator generally owns copyright, the major exceptions to this being where a work is produced by an employee in the course of their employment or where the copyright has been assigned (sold) to a third party.

Trademark Infringement

Our trade mark solicitors frequently advise clients on the national (UK), European and global aspects to trademark infringement protection. We are able to help your business from initial advice to conducting a proposed trademark search to preparing the trademark application and receiving the trademark certificate.

We have over 15 years of experience in the trademark field and have learned that it is VITAL to perform a full trademark search when considering a trade mark and we always remind their clients to perform the search prior to filing a trademark application.
