Enduring Counsel in a Complex World
Welcome
For discerning individuals and sophisticated enterprises, the complexities of law demand more than mere interpretation; they require a profound understanding, a steady hand, and counsel as bespoke as your own aspirations.
Much like a trusted private bank, we stand apart not by the breadth of our reach, but by the depth of our commitment to a select clientele.
Our heritage rests in the enduring relationships we cultivate and the quiet triumphs we secure for those we represent.
We eschew the conventional, high-volume approach, choosing instead to offer a focused, highly personalised legal service.
Your objectives become our paramount concern, addressed with meticulous attention, insightful strategy, and an unwavering dedication to achieving the most advantageous outcomes.
Here, legal excellence is not a service, but a partnership – discreet, dependable, and dedicated to safeguarding your interests, today and for generations to come.
Our Services
- Corporate & Commercial Transactions
For those navigating the intricate currents of commerce, the acquisition or divestment of a company's shares, a partnership interest, or indeed the very assets of a business, represents a pivotal moment.
Such undertakings demand more than mere legal ratification; they require a sophisticated understanding of value, risk, and strategic positioning.
Stratton Lansdowne brings an unparalleled blend of expertise and astute foresight to these critical junctures.
Our involvement extends far beyond the typical, embedding ourselves within the negotiations from their earliest conception through to their successful conclusion.
This deeply engaged approach ensures that your interests are not merely protected, but artfully advanced, culminating in outcomes that reflect both your ambitions and our unwavering commitment to excellence.
- Legal Framework Documentation
In the intricate architecture of modern enterprise, the clarity and robustness of your legal frameworks are not merely advantageous, but indispensable.
We devote ourselves to advising our esteemed clientele on the pivotal agreements that govern both their internal relationships — such as shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, and nuanced employment contracts — and their crucial engagements with external parties, encompassing bespoke terms and conditions, meticulously crafted supply contracts, and sensitive consultancy arrangements.
When entrusted with matters of such consequence, our approach is defined by an exacting diligence.
We adeptly negotiate on your behalf, ensuring your interests are not only protected but artfully advanced. Furthermore, we commit to the drafting of legal documentation to a standard that is meticulously prepared to withstand the most rigorous scrutiny, affording you the unwavering confidence and profound security synonymous with enduring success.
- Dispute Resolution
Even the most meticulously established corporate and commercial relationships can, at times, encounter unforeseen strains.
When these vital connections—be they internal or with external partners—show signs of fragility or breakdown, our discerning clients turn to us for counsel that transcends mere legal advice.
Here, you will find a partner-led style service, personally guided by a Solicitor Advocate (Higher Courts Civil).
This provides you with direct access to a level of insight and strategic acumen akin to the most trusted private advisors.
Coupled with our inherent tenacity and robust advocacy, this ensures that even in the most challenging of circumstances, we drive towards a satisfactory and strategically advantageous conclusion, safeguarding your interests with unwavering dedication.

Should you, at any juncture, find cause for concern or dissatisfaction with the assistance we have rendered, we encourage you to promptly apprise us. This allows us to address your observations directly and endeavour to find a swift and satisfactory resolution.

Should you wish to advance a formal complaint, our comprehensive complaints procedure is thoughtfully detailed within your retainer information. We would, of course, be pleased to furnish you with an additional copy upon request.
Please be assured that engaging our complaints process will in no way prejudice the meticulous handling of your ongoing affairs.
Should a Resolution Remain Elusive:
In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your concerns to your satisfaction internally, the Legal Ombudsman provides an invaluable independent review service. Their impartial assessment will be conducted entirely independently, and their involvement will not influence the diligent progression of your case with us."
Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:
- Within six months of receiving a final response to your complaint
and
- No more than six years from the date of act/omission; or
- No more than three years from when you should reasonably have known there was cause for complaint.
If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
