Commercial and Property Law

Your business and property are very important to you and often represent many years of hard work and perseverance.  The CRH commercial and property team understands and acknowledges the importance these assets have to you and we can assist you to make informed decisions with respect to your legal rights and obligations in relation to those assets.

Members of our team have a broad knowledge and deep understanding of commercial and property matters and the issues and challenges that can arise in managing your business and property assets.  We can use our expertise and experience to help you with your day to day commercial and property needs as well as advise you in relation to bigger transactions such as sales and acquisitions.

Our team focuses on practical solutions and can assist you with commercial and property advice on issues such as:-

1.    The sale and acquisition of:

• businesses including the preparation of contracts and associated documentation as well as extensive due diligence enquiries and providing you with general advice in relation to the contract documentation and due diligence;
• commercial and industrial land including documentation and advice;
• residential properties; and
• retail shops.

2.    Preparing, negotiating and advising on the full gamut of commercial agreements including, but not limited to, supply and service agreements as well as licences and confidentiality agreements;

3.  Business succession planning for clients including working with clients’ financial advisors with a view to developing an appropriate plan for the future success and prosperity of their business;

4.  Protection and licensing of intellectual property; and

5.  Retail and commercial leasing.

Buying a business?

Buying a business is always exciting particularly where it is someone's first business purchase.  However, we find that clients aren't always aware of all the relevant information they (and their advisors and finianciers) require.

To assist you, we've created a range of free guides and checklists:
