Summerfield Browne Solicitors are manufacturing lawyers and are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority in England. SRA number 598802. We are a modern and progressive manufacturing law firm, and operate a new legal services business model, which significantly reduces our overheads, and which means we can transfer the benefit of those cost savings back to our customers, in the form of competitive fee rates.
What sets us apart from many other manufacturing solicitors, is that we deliver legal services using a business model that utilises the best aspects of the traditional manufacturing law firm, but which also incorporates a flexible consultancy based legal services model. Our business model means that clients have the option of choosing either, remote delivery of legal services which is simple, effective and cost efficient, or alternatively, the more traditional delivery of legal services via meetings in person at either, our serviced offices, or at the client's business premises.
Our manufacturing lawyers will go to great lengths to understand the nature of your business, to ensure that any guidance given is “fit for purpose”, and appropriate for the nature of your business. As a manufacturing law firm we ensure that we provide pragmatic and commercial legal advice, tailored to your specific requirements.
Our manufacturing solicitors provide the following legal services:
It’s very reassuring as an owner of an SME to know that you are getting excellent legal advice at a reasonable cost.
Our manufacturing solicitors provide strategic and tactical manufacturing litigation advice, in order to achieve the best outcome for our clients. We analyse the risks associated with the litigation matter, and provide realistic advice on the merits of any claim or defence.
If you have a manufacturing dispute then we can assist. Our manufacturing lawyers can analyse the nature and merits of the dispute, and determine the best way of resolving it. This may include evaluating alternative dispute resolution strategies, such as mediation and also “Without Prejudice” settlement proposals.
Our manufacturing lawyers draft and negotiate a wide variety of manufacturing contracts including OEM contracts, outsourced manufacturing contracts, intellectual property and patent licensing and manufacturing contracts, supply contracts, manufacturing terms and conditions and also equipment hire and leasing contracts.
Our manufacturing solicitors advise on corporate joint ventures, and also commercial collaborations. We can advise on the most appropriate corporate structure for a joint venture, including a limited company, or a limited liability partnership. We also advise on the contractual documentation that forms the basis of a commercial collaboration, such as a joint research and development contract.
If you are looking to buy a manufacturing business or sell a manufacturing business, then our manufacturing solicitors can advise on each stage of the transaction, starting with due diligence. We also work with tax accountants to structure a tax efficient transaction, and draft and negotiate the transaction documents.
