As an owner-managed firm with 18 years of growth and development, FG Solicitors is uniquely positioned to provide exemplary legal support to businesses, from start-ups to established companies, helping them achieve their corporate goals.
Originally specialising in employment law, FG Solicitors built a strong reputation for excellence in this field. Over the years, the Northamptonshire-based firm has expanded its expertise to include corporate law, data protection, commercial real estate, and both international and domestic immigration law.
The firm’s continued success has led to the opening of a new London office and the formation of an international business services team to advise on corporate and commercial matters both within and outside the UK.
Floyd Graham, Founder and Managing Principal of FG Solicitors, said: “We are driven to provide comprehensive legal services to businesses, responding to the growing demand from our clients.
“For start-ups, we act as an incubator, helping with everything from selecting the right business structure to developing business plans and strategies. For seasoned business owners, we ensure they stay compliant in an ever-evolving legal landscape, advising them on the latest legal changes and how to adapt.
“Over the years, we’ve tailored our services to meet the specific needs of each client. We provide straightforward, jargon-free guidance to support critical decision-making – whether it’s assisting with the timing of a property acquisition or helping clients navigate challenging processes, such as employee terminations or exit strategies.
“Many business owners eventually face the decision of succession planning. Selling a business you’ve built from the ground up is no easy feat. Through experience, we understand the psychological hurdles involved and offer expert guidance through the complexities of due diligence and the transaction process.”
The various departments at FG Solicitors include:
Employment Law and HR Services
The employment law team provides support on legal and GDPR compliance, drafting domestic and international contracts, handbooks, policies, and procedures. They offer strategic advice on reorganisations, restructuring, performance management, discrimination issues, TUPE, due diligence, and retirement and succession planning.
Corporate and Commercial Legal Services
FG Solicitors helps clients navigate acquisitions, sales and management buyouts. The firm also drafts shareholders’ agreements, articles of association, and provides corporate governance advice.
It manages commercial contracts, supplier agreements, and intellectual property matters, along with franchising, sub-contractor agreements, and disputes.
Commercial Real Estate
Led by Harshinder Hundal, the commercial property team specialises in landlord and tenant transactions, portfolio management, development site acquisition and disposal, financing and project management. The team works across various sectors, including retail, industrial, office, education, leisure, logistics, agriculture and e-commerce.
Global Immigration
The newest addition to FG Solicitors, the global immigration team ensures compliance for businesses employing non-British nationals. They also support UK-based companies looking to establish international operations, assisting with incorporation abroad and managing employee movement across borders.
Most businesses, at some point in their lifecycle, will need a combination of these services. Floyd Graham explained: “As companies grow, a solid compliance framework is essential to support that growth and avoid costly reputational mistakes.
“There is a significant shortage of skilled and unskilled labour in sectors like construction, logistics, leisure and hospitality. Many businesses rely on non-British nationals to fill this gap. As this trend grows, companies will need the kind of immigration expertise that FG Solicitors offers. Speed and effective compliance are crucial in these areas.
“The world of employment law has changed drastically. Once, zero-hour contracts were viewed as a way to offer flexibility, but now they are increasingly controversial. Navigating the complex and rapidly changing legal landscape is a challenge for all but the most determined business owners.”
FG Solicitors is well-positioned to navigate the legal and geographical challenges businesses face. Floyd added: “Companies need support throughout their journey – starting with a strong foundation, followed by a strategy for growth or exit. We specialise in acquisitions and managing both sides of a deal to overcome any obstacles.
“Our goal is to provide clients with the confidence and legal support needed to optimise their business operations.”
As part of its continued growth, FG Solicitors recently welcomed Charles Graham, the founder’s son, as a trainee solicitor. This marks an important step in the firm’s succession planning and reinforces, together with other strategic hires across the various disciplines, the long-term future of the business.
“Our focus on the future has resulted in an increase in the opportunities that we offer for work experience to school pupils in the secondary school sector,” said Floyd. “We have also increased our intake of trainee solicitors and paralegals to ensure that we continue to meet and exceed the expectations and needs of our clients.
“In order to grow, we’ve brought in experts at the top of their fields. But we’re also looking ahead. Having the second generation involved in the business is key, and we’re focusing on raising our profile and brand awareness. While we started as an employment practice, our growth means we now off er a much broader and comprehensive range of services, and it’s time to let businesses know about it.
“Over the past year, our business has nearly doubled in size, strengthening our expertise and expanding the services we offer. As you would expect from a law firm providing international support to clients, our linguistic competence expands beyond English and covering a range of languages including Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin and French.
“One of the biggest concerns of business is around how to manage costs effectively. We would never want potential clients to be unable to access the very best advice. The FG Solicitors Retainer Programme is designed to ensure effective legal support in a cost-effective way and is the equivalent of having effective, proactive legal advice on tap without concerns about affordability. All our retainer programmes are designed around each individual client ensuring that we can match tailored solutions to individual need.”
The FG Solicitors audit and compliance programmes provide confidence to business across the employment, human resource and immigration areas of businesses by designing and supporting effective business strategies and optimising people performance.
