Waterfront Law - Commercial Solicitors in London

London-based law firm specialising in intellectual property, technology, corporate, commercial, data protection and employment law

Our commercial and data protection team advises a wide range of clients, including early stage start ups, scaling technology companies, and established SMEs, on every aspect of commercial law and regulatory compliance.

Businesses today operate in fast moving commercial environments where legal risks can escalate quickly if contracts, processes, and governance frameworks are not robust. We work closely with clients to help them navigate these challenges with confidence, ensuring they have the contractual and compliance foundations needed to support sustainable growth.

Our commercial lawyers, led by Andrew Gordon, provide practical and commercially focused advice across commercial law, offering clear guidance on structuring business relationships, managing legal risk, and protecting assets and revenue streams. Whether a client is negotiating strategic partnerships, entering new markets, launching digital services, or scaling internal operations, we ensure they have the safeguards required to operate efficiently and with certainty. Our aim is to remove unnecessary complexity, reduce disputes, and help businesses maintain strong relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners.

Our approach is highly collaborative and partner led, giving clients direct access to senior expertise throughout every instruction. We take time to understand each organisation’s commercial objectives so that our advice supports wider strategic goals rather than isolated issues.

Alongside our commercial law capabilities, our team has specialist expertise in data protection and cyber security. This allows us to advise on both the contractual and regulatory dimensions of modern business operations. As companies handle increasing volumes of data, adopt new technologies, and face heightened scrutiny from regulators and customers, this integrated perspective has become essential.

Recent projects we have been involved with include:

  • Negotiating with a big player in insurance on behalf of our SME client in IT and telecoms infrastructure
  • Negotiating with a big player in telecoms on behalf of our IT support client
  • Re-writing the subscriber terms and conditions for our client’s gardening app re-launch
  • Helping our client design their job-matching app business model in compliance with data protection requirements for marketing

Being commercial as well as data protection solicitors, our advice is practical and cost-efficient. We understand that you need an SME lawyer who can guide you to put the right processes in place. If you have a data breach, you can come to us and we will guide you.
