The Great West Road was built for business. Its 1930s factories, the Golden Mile that once made tyres, toothpaste and gramophones, are now offices, and the corporate campus at Chiswick Park, the broadcasting headquarters at Osterley and the regeneration around Brentford's stadium have turned the eastern half of Hounslow into one of the largest office districts outside central London. Business law solicitors in Hounslow act for those companies on leases, commercial contracts, data protection, employment documents and the occasional acquisition, and for the suppliers, contractors and consultancies that depend on them.
The western half of the borough works for the airport. Freight forwarders, customs agents, aviation caterers, vehicle hire companies, hotels and parking operators in Feltham, Bedfont and Cranford live on service contracts with airlines and handling companies, and the terms of those contracts, the indemnities, service levels and termination rights, are where a solicitor earns their fee. Licensing for bonded warehouses, haulage and alcohol, and the regulatory rules that surround anything touching the airport, add to the work.
Hounslow High Street, Brentford and Chiswick High Road have the independent shops, restaurants, pharmacies, dental practices and estate agents that need the basics: a limited company or partnership set up properly, a shareholder agreement before the founders fall out, terms of business, a lease that can be assigned when the business is sold, and a route to recover unpaid invoices. Smaller disputes go to Brentford County Court; larger ones to the Business and Property Courts in central London, though most settle in negotiation or mediation. Insolvency advice, for struggling businesses and for creditors, is part of the service.
Company formation and standard documents are usually fixed-fee; negotiations, due diligence and disputes are billed hourly.
