John Howells Legal Firm has a leading and versatile commercial practice covering corporate law, employment, commercial disputes, data protection, intellectual property, commercial contracts, and financial services. Since commercial challenges often span multiple areas of law, we provide seamless, joined-up expertise that ensures every aspect is handled with precision and clarity.

Our firm advises clients in both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) contexts, across domestic and international markets. We are widely recognised for delivering pragmatic, solution-oriented advice on complex and business-critical issues.

Outsourcing

From IT and technology to business-process and service-delivery outsourcing, we offer specialist expertise in drafting outsourcing agreements and advising across the full outsourcing lifecycle—covering pre-procurement planning, tender stages, negotiations, project implementation, dispute resolution, and exit management.

Engaging third-party providers always presents risks around performance, suitability, costs, and organisational fit. Our team helps you navigate these challenges with confidence, ensuring compliance with intricate procurement principles and processes, particularly within the public sector.

Beyond contract drafting and negotiation, we guide clients through the entire procurement journey—from pre-market engagement and tender preparation to supplier appointment. With direct access to our specialists in employment (including TUPE), data protection, intellectual property, and governance, clients are assured of comprehensive legal protection long after contracts are signed.

Joint Ventures & Collaborations

Whether forming a joint venture as part of your core business strategy or to enter new markets in the UK or overseas, John Howells Legal Firm provides strategic advice on collaboration agreements and contractual joint ventures. We ensure projects are built on well-defined scopes, effective governance structures, and watertight contracts—allowing partnerships to succeed and grow.

Collaborations often intersect with intellectual property, employment, property, tax, finance, and governance. We bring together focused, multi-disciplinary teams to deliver clear, commercially minded solutions tailored to your objectives.
