When challenges arise - whether a contractual breach, threat of litigation, regulatory pressure, debt or solvency concerns or employee issues - swift, pragmatic advice makes all the difference. We can provide early crisis management support that helps you assess risks, protect your position and take decisive steps before problems escalate.

Even the most organised and well‑run businesses can face moments of pressure: a supplier fails to deliver, a client threatens legal action or a regulatory issue surfaces unexpectedly. In a sector built on trust, timelines and reputation, these situations can escalate quickly - and the earlier you act, the more options you have.

We can provide fast, pragmatic legal support to help businesses and owners navigate crises with clarity and control. 

What we can help with

Contractual breaches and disputes

Whether you’re facing a missed delivery, a defective product claim or an unexpected price hike, we can assess your contractual position quickly and guide you through your options - from negotiation to formal remedies.

Threats of legal proceedings

We help you understand the risk, respond strategically and protect your position. Early intervention often prevents escalation and preserves valuable relationships.

Regulatory and compliance exposures

From advertising and sustainability claims to product safety and data protection, we can help you identify the issue, contain the risk and take corrective action that satisfies regulators and reassures stakeholders.

Employment and team issues

Disputes, grievances and performance concerns can destabilise a small creative business. We can provide clear, proportionate advice that balances legal obligations with team dynamics and commercial realities.

Reputational damage

Negative reviews, stakeholder complaints, an unscrupulous rival passing off your designs as theirs at a substandard quality can damage trust. We can help you manage communications, mitigate risk and protect your brand.

Debt, cashflow, and solvency concerns

When finances tighten, early advice is essential. We help you understand your duties, negotiate with creditors and explore practical options before matters become critical.
