What We Cover
Every legal
question. One number.
A general counsel does not specialise in one narrow area of law. They cover the breadth of legal work a business faces day to day — and know when to bring in a specialist. That is exactly how Burns & Co. GC operates.
From the routine to the complex, we handle the legal work that keeps your business protected and moving forward — and act as a single, accountable point of contact for everything legal.
Commercial Contracts
Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the agreements that run your business — customer and supplier terms, master service agreements, NDAs, distribution and partnership deals — with a focus on protecting margin and reducing friction.
Corporate & Transactions
Support for acquisitions, disposals, investments, and restructuring. We manage due diligence, negotiate transaction documents, and coordinate specialist advisers so deals complete smoothly and on commercial terms.
Employment & HR
Contracts, policies, TUPE, restructures, and sensitive employee relations. We help you handle people issues properly — minimising risk, protecting reputation, and keeping the business moving.
Data Protection & Compliance
GDPR, data governance, and regulatory compliance. We build the frameworks and answer the difficult questions — so you can operate confidently in an increasingly regulated environment.
Regulatory & Governance
Board and governance advice, regulatory obligations, and risk frameworks. We help leadership teams understand their duties and put the structures in place to discharge them well.
Disputes & Risk
Managing commercial disputes, claims, and reputational risk. We resolve matters efficiently where possible and fight robustly where necessary — always with one eye on the commercial outcome.
