Liam Woodward

I joined the commercial law team at Tanners in January 2023, having previously worked for international law firms in London, Dubai, the Cayman Islands and Jersey. I have practised across a broad range of specialisms and sectors with a particular focus on commercial, corporate and finance law. Having had such a diverse experience during my career, I am well placed to provide my clients with clear and practical advice on a wide variety of commercial and business issues.

I advise clients on a range of corporate, commercial and finance issues such as:

• Drafting, negotiating and reviewing commercial contracts (including business terms, non-disclosure agreements, licence agreements, agency agreements, distribution agreements, joint venture agreements and franchise agreements)

• The disposal and acquisition of businesses and partnerships

• Director and shareholder matters (including shareholder agreements, corporate resolutions, investment agreements, etc.)

• Corporate governance

• Company secretarial matters

• Share dealings

• Company constitutional issues

• Banking and finance (including drafting and reviewing loan agreements, loan notes, documents ancillary thereto and security documents)

• Securitisations and notes issuances

I focus on understanding my clients’ businesses in order to provide them with concise, clear and pragmatic solutions with a view to achieving both legally and commercially satisfactory outcomes. I have worked for local traders and global conglomerates on deals worth up to billions of pounds, so no deal is too big or too small.
