At External Lawyers, expertise doesn’t just mean knowing the law; it means knowing how to make it work for your business. With years of in-house experience across retail, hospitality, travel and entertainment, we’ve faced the same pressures you do: ambitious growth targets, tight budgets, and decisions that can’t wait. That’s why our approach is different.
We combine commercial insight with legal know-how to deliver advice that is practical, fast and focused on outcomes. Whether it’s closing deals, managing disputes, or keeping your operations compliant, we act as your business partner on-demand and always with your commercial objectives front and centre.

From supplier agreements to licensing deals, we draft, review, and negotiate contracts that protect your position without holding up progress. Clear, concise, and designed to get signed.
We help you manage staff issues before they escalate. From contracts and policies to disputes and terminations, our goal is always to resolve matters quickly and protect your business.
Whether it’s packaging, promotions or advertising campaigns, we make sure your brand activity stays compliant while still connecting with customers.
Launching new sites, expanding into new markets, or closing an acquisition? We’ve managed deals from heads of agreement through to opening day, helping businesses grow with confidence.


Legal advice should be a driver of momentum, not a handbrake. That’s why our focus is always on clarity, speed and commercial value. We don’t drown you in jargon or delay decisions with lengthy reports. We give you the practical tools to move forward, resolve issues and grow your business with confidence.
