Mr Southall (age 39, who lives in Balsall Common) has acquired the Commercial arm of long standing Midlands practice Edward Hands and Lewis to create EHL Commercial LLP and now as owner steps up as a Member and Managing Partner - where he continues in his role as a Commercial and Chancery litigator operating in Insolvency, Intellectual Property and Sports law.

He explains:

“At EHL Commercial LLP, we are all about challenging the norm and the traditional perception of lawyers and law firms. Our dynamic team are all endeavouring to be leaders in their fields and to do this they only practice in their area of law. This helps us, as a firm, drive forwards to offering quality, bespoke and practical advice at competitive prices.

“We also like to keep things simple and to the point and we stick to what we know and where we can add real value. A particular point of difference is the exclusive professional partner network we have forged with similarly minded firms in New York and Washington DC, plus Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Poland. Operating in this way enables us to service our clients from the Unites States of America to the Channel Islands to Eastern Europe as well as the UK.”

EHL Commercial clients are currently SME businesses with turnovers in between £250,000 to £65million. They also represent start-up businesses, charities and entities that are ready to float on the Stock Market, as well as hedge funds, property developers and professional service providers.
