I am Geoffrey Caesar, a solicitor of England & Wales with 18 + years' post-qualification experience and 25+ years' business experience. My practice covers the commercial law work that growing businesses need: contracts, corporate structures, employment, data protection, intellectual property, technology and AI, and the disputes that occasionally arise during business. My Services & Fees page contains links to 82 service descriptions, representing my most popular services, with fees shown, organised into seven practice areas.
In Start & Structure Your Business, I work on the founding documents. Articles of association, shareholders' agreements, partnership and LLP agreements, and the corporate housekeeping behind them. Getting these right early is one of the most cost-effective pieces of legal work a business can do.
In Customers & Suppliers, I draft and review the agreements that carry most of a business's commercial value: services contracts, supply terms, agency and distribution, franchising, and the B2B and consumer terms that sit at the foot of websites.
In Build & Manage Your Team, I cover the full hiring lifecycle. Offer letters, employment contracts, consultancy agreements, HR policies, and settlement agreements. I represent employers and, on contract reviews, senior employees.
In Data & Compliance, I put the UK GDPR, PECR, and AML documentation in place at a size that fits the business, along with the operational artefacts that support it.
In IP & Brand Protection, I document intellectual property ownership, draft and review licences, handle NDAs and assignments, and respond promptly when someone is using your IP without permission.
In Technology & AI, I cover SaaS terms, software licences, managed services agreements, and the AI governance work that has become essential over the past two years.
In Disputes, I provide a senior view, fast. An advice call, written advice, or focused work on contract interpretation, termination and settlement.
These areas cover many of the matters that arise in the context of commercial law for founders and businesses, but my services are not confined to a rigid structure. Whatever your commercial law needs, get in touch, and I will help.
