Our areas of expertise

Our team of dedicated and experienced staff will support and guide you through your experience with us.

We partner with business owners, directors, managers, and in-house legal teams across the UK, offering clear, commercially focused legal guidance.

Our approachable experts take the time to understand your business, market and goals. We do this to provide the proactive support you require, protect your interests and maximise value at every stage.

As a small business we have found the legal and HR aspects in particular to be challenging given the breadth and depth of knowledge which is expected of an employer, not to mention the tight timescales in which we as employers are required to deal with such matters. The support received from Alex at Clarke & Son in particular has been swift, pragmatic and decisive, allowing events to be quickly concluded and also allowing us to remain focussed on our business instead of being bogged down in the intricacies of employment law.

Owner, Pub Company
Will, Glenn, and the entire Clarke and Son team were exceptional from start to finish during my transaction. They were consistently responsive, offering clear, practical advice at every stage, and made a complex process feel smooth and manageable.

The Garage Entertainment
We have worked with Clarke & Son for a number of years and they have always provided excellent support as our brewery has grown. Alongside their professionalism, they have been a pleasure to spend time with inside and outside of work.

Bob Morrison, Deputy Chairman at Windsor & Eton Brewery
The Clarke and Son team are easy to deal with and ensure no unnecessary delays allowing decisions to be made more quickly. They provide practical solutions to difficult issues and we like that they understand our business and what is required to get deals done effectively.

David Nathan, CFO at Brakspear
We have worked with Clarke and Son for a number of years now. In particular, Will and the team have become indispensable to us. Jonny and myself thank the team for their expertise and commitment and we look forward to continuing to work as if they were our team of in house lawyers over the years to come.

Tim Lennox , No.1 Living
Clarke & Son having a specialism within the hospitality sector. They have provided our members with the benefit of their significant experience and expertise. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Will Anderson and his team and look forward to continued success together.

Natasha Dochniak, Commercial Manager at Hampshire Fare C.I.C.
Will and the team at Clarke and Son never disappoint on providing a top class service. Their friendly and approachable nature makes interaction effortless and their attention to detail in answering enquiries often goes above and beyond your initial enquiry; it’s rare but refreshing to find this level of service and openness.

Rebecca Fisher, Partnerships & Events Manager, at Hattingley Valley Wines Limited
We have covered a range of matters with Clarke & Son including corporate structure, acquisitions, leases & contracts, employment, and dispute resolution. The knowledge and service in each of these areas has been exceptional. We do not feel like ‘just another client’, but rather, a valued customer for whom the firm will do their utmost for.

Luke Knowles, Strategy and Development Director Beds and Bars Group
Clark and Son have an unrivalled knowledge of the hospitality industry which has proved to be invaluable in getting the results we needed.

Art Tukker, Tinwood Estate
Clarke & Son have offered our members their expert independent professional advice and our members have found their support to be of the highest standard of professionalism and allowed them to make informed decisions for their businesses.

Natalie Wickham, British Institute of Innkeeping
I was more than impressed by Will and the team at Clarke and Son, they aided me in a complicated transaction which involved selling part of our business and also creating new share arrangements and the exit of some investors.

Anthony Pender, Yummy Collection
