Quarterly Insights Key Corporate & Commercial Topics – Quarter 3 2026

In this third episode of our Quarterly Insights podcast series from the Corporate and Commercial team at Clarkslegal, we bring you concise overviews and practical perspectives on the most topical issues and significant legal developments our team has explored in the past three months. Our goal is to help business owners, directors, and professionals navigate the latest trends and challenges shaping the corporate and commercial landscape.

In this episode, Stuart Mullins, Partner in the Corporate and Commercial team, is joined by Jonathan Hayes, Senior Solicitor.

Together, they’ll discuss:

  • Community Interest Companies (CICs) – What they are, why they’re gaining popularity, and how they can benefit not-for-profit and charitable ventures.
  • Company Registers – The importance of keeping accurate records, key risks for directors, and good governance practices.
  • Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) in Business Sales – How NDAs protect confidential information and what to consider when drafting them.
  • Early Legal Preparation for Business Exits – Why preparing early helps smooth the path for future business sales or investments.
  • Business Exit Readiness Review – An introduction to Clarkslegal’s free review service to help clients prepare for a successful exit.

If you’d like to discuss any of the topics covered in this episode, please contact Stuart Mullins or Jonathan Hayes, who will be happy to assist you.
