Summerfield Browne Solicitors are engineering lawyers and are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority in England. SRA number 598802. We are a modern and progressive engineering 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 engineering solicitors, is that we deliver legal services using a business model that utilises the best aspects of the traditional engineering 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 engineering lawyers provide specialist engineering legal advice in relation to all types of engineering including civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering and construction engineering.
Our engineering 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 engineering solicitors draft and negotiate all types of engineering contracts, including engineering service and framework contracts, engineering terms and conditions, engineering consultancy contracts, engineering support agreements and research and collaboration contracts.
Are you involved in, or threatened with an engineering litigation action? If so our engineering solicitors can provide a pragmatic analysis of the merits and risks associated with your position, and determine the best course of action, in order to resolve the engineering litigation.
If you are undertaking an engineering project then we can provide legal guidance. Our engineering lawyers draft and negotiate engineering joint venture, and engineering commercial collaboration contracts. We also advise on prime and sub-contractor legal structures, and analyse the risks associated with it.
If you are considering buying an engineering business, or selling an engineering business, then our engineering solicitors can provide guidance on each stage of the transaction. We can assist with the initial evaluation and due diligence. We can then structure the transaction in conjunction with your tax accountant, and finally draft and negotiate the transaction documents.
Our engineering lawyers provide astute, and tactical advice on engineering disputes. We provide guidance on the options available to resolve the dispute, thereby enabling our clients to choose the most suitable strategy for them. We provide robust representation, to ensure that our clients have sufficient leverage to negotiate a favourable settlement, or outcome.
