Fixed-price planning

Legal setup that stays simple.

We handle the first legal steps so you can get back to trading. If the deal is unusual, we say so early and keep the options clear.

  • Company formation advice that cuts out guesswork.
  • Directors' duties explained in plain language.
  • Documents built for Irish filings and day-to-day use.

GDPR Compliance - Avoid Penalties

We map the data you hold, write policies that people will actually use, and put a clear route in place for data subject access requests.

If you need DPO as a service, we can also support that role and keep the compliance calendar moving.

What we cover

  • Data mapping and policy drafting for staff, suppliers and customers.
  • DPO support for businesses that need ongoing oversight.
  • Handling and logging DSARs with deadlines tracked.

Directors’ Duties & Governance

Company law asks for clear decisions, clean records and proper process. We explain fiduciary duties, draft board minutes and keep resolutions in a form that stands up when questions are raised.

This is where many firms slip. Do the basics well.

Business Legal Questions

Short answers for the issues owners ask about first.

Direct answers.

What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company?

A limited company creates a separate legal structure with different filing duties, tax treatment and control rules. We explain the practical trade-offs before you choose.

Do I need a shareholder agreement if I have a co-founder?

Yes, if you want clear rules on decision-making, exits, deadlock and share transfers. It is easier to write that now than to fix it during a dispute.

Can you review my supplier contract?

Yes. We check liability, termination, payment, IP, privacy and service levels, then tell you what needs to change.

What are the risks of poor GDPR compliance?

The risks include complaints, regulatory attention, internal delay and damage to client trust. A clear process reduces all four.
