Why Appoint Redkite Solicitors?
With offices spread across Cardiff, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, we are located in the right locations to work closely with your business. You can visit us for an informal chat and seek expert legal guidance on any matters that may have occurred. Our specialist commercial legal team is approachable and they strive to ensure that business, as well as legal–jargon is prevented as much as possible.
It is always worth keeping in mind that once you instruct Redkite Solicitors’ specialist advisors they will not be working on their own. Our team is a supportive unit that builds on business expertise in multiple industrial fields as well as specialties in areas of business law. As such, you will also be able to get access to the best legal minds on the matter at hand, whether you are in a legal dispute or merely organising the business in such a way that it is on a solid legal foundation, for potential development.
Some businesses do not necessarily have an urgent need for legal services, however, it is often easier to be aware of your legal position, especially if you are branching out in terms of what your company is doing on an operational level. Under these circumstances, we will conduct an in-depth assessment of your business and functional needs from a legal point of view and ensure that you meet all of your regulatory responsibilities. Doing so will ensure that your business is fully registered and up to date. Potentially saving you from any future court proceedings.

Intellectual Property
Safeguard what belongs to your business
How do you protect the critical commodity? Intellectual property covers trademarks, privacy, design, copyright and patents. When you properly defend your intellectual property, you will be in a stronger position to deal with any infringements.
Securing Ownership
Ensuring that your company is completely protected by intellectual property is the main stage of the protection procedure. Businesses often neglect to assure that the intellectual property rights generated by third parties on their behalf, such as staff or consultants are correctly allocated. Our experts will compile all the agreements that the company needs; ensuring that you own what you pay for. Our expertise encompasses all aspects of intellectual property legislation including:
- Licensing and software
- Online content
- Research and development rights
- Collaboration
- Contractors
Joint Ventures

MBOs and MBIs
If you are a management team interested in buying into a business or a shareholder looking to sell, our skills and knowledge will guide you along the path to a profitable deal that applies to both parties concerned.
Our experience covers:
MBOs
When a previous owner wishes to sell, the new management is often in the strongest position to buy them out and push the company forward.
MBIs
A management buy-in may be the answer to the dilemma if a company is under-performing, due to poor management. This is when new owners buy a company that includes new management.
Equity and Finance
Our experts can work for you, whether you are a lender, borrower or buyer so that you can take comfort in the fact that anything you do falls within the framework of legal compliance.
From guidance on private equity and debt financing to help raise funds for growth and success, we provide you with the support you need to achieve your goals.
Our expertise covers:
Cash Flow Management
When it comes to cash flow, steps such as discounting invoices, hiring purchases and lease arrangements may benefit.
Commercial Lending
Business borrowing also calls for complicated and lengthy infrastructure and security records. We make it simple for our clients to work with them, leading them from submission to submission via the funding process.
Investment Advice
In our experience, the goal is to find the best balance between the ability of a business to work without excessive intervention and the desire for the lender or investor to have adequate leverage of its funding or spending.
