Solicitors and Legal Advisers
Running a successful business often requires more than just good financial management. Business owners regularly face legal challenges and opportunities that require specialist advice, whether that’s drafting contracts, managing employment matters, buying or selling a business, or navigating complex commercial arrangements.
At JP Blackmoor, we’re fortunate to work alongside a trusted network of legal professionals who provide expert advice across a wide range of specialisms. By collaborating closely with experienced solicitors, we can help ensure our clients receive the right support at the right time.
What is a Solicitor?
A solicitor is a qualified legal professional who provides advice, guidance and representation on a wide range of legal matters.
Depending on their area of expertise, solicitors can help businesses with contracts, employment law, company structures, acquisitions, disputes, compliance, governance and much more.
Having access to specialist legal advice can help businesses reduce risk, protect their interests and make informed decisions when opportunities or challenges arise.
Below are three solicitors we regularly work alongside and are pleased to introduce as part of our network.
Jack Ross of GA Solicitors
Jack Ross is a Corporate and Commercial Solicitor at GA Solicitors, specialising in helping businesses navigate commercial transactions, corporate restructuring, acquisitions, disposals and wider business matters.
Jack works with companies at all stages of their journey, from growing businesses looking to strengthen their legal foundations through to established organisations undertaking significant transactions. His practical and commercial approach helps business owners understand complex legal matters and make confident decisions.
Whether a client is considering buying a business, selling shares, restructuring their company or negotiating important commercial agreements, Jack brings valuable expertise and insight to the process.
James Twine of Wolverstans
James Twine is an Employment Law and Education Specialist at Wolferstans, advising organisations on a broad range of employment matters.
Employment law is an area that affects almost every business at some point. From recruitment and employment contracts through to disciplinary procedures, grievances, redundancies and workplace disputes, obtaining the right advice can be critical.
James helps employers understand their obligations, minimise risk and deal with challenging situations effectively. His expertise allows businesses to navigate employment issues with confidence while maintaining positive workplace relationships and remaining compliant with ever-changing legislation.
Matt Cook of Elevate Legal
Matt Cook is a Corporate Law Specialist and founder of Elevate Legal, supporting business owners through a wide range of corporate legal matters.
Matt has extensive experience advising entrepreneurs, company directors and business owners on transactions, corporate governance, shareholder arrangements and strategic business decisions. His focus is on delivering practical legal solutions that support business growth while protecting the interests of stakeholders.
Whether clients are looking to raise investment, formalise shareholder arrangements or prepare for future growth opportunities, Matt provides commercially-focused legal advice tailored to their objectives.
How we work together
As accountants and business advisors, we often identify situations where legal input is required as part of a wider project or business decision.
For example, a business acquisition may require financial due diligence from us while simultaneously requiring corporate legal support from a solicitor. Likewise, employment issues often have financial implications alongside legal considerations.
By working collaboratively with trusted advisors such as Jack, James and Matt, we can help ensure clients receive joined-up advice that considers both the financial and legal aspects of a situation.
This collaborative approach can make projects run more smoothly, improve communication between advisors and ultimately deliver better outcomes for our clients.
Why we value them
One of the greatest benefits of our professional network is the ability to connect clients with specialists we know and trust.
The legal profession covers a vast range of specialisms, and no single solicitor can be an expert in every area. By maintaining relationships with professionals who focus on different disciplines, we can help clients access the right expertise when they need it.
We value Jack, James and Matt not only for their technical knowledge, but also for their pragmatic and client-focused approach. They understand the realities of running a business and work hard to provide practical solutions rather than simply legal opinions.
Together, we help clients navigate important decisions, reduce risk and create stronger foundations for future success.
