Company and Commercial
Commercial businesses come in all shapes and sizes – sole trader, partnership, limited company. They all have one thing in common – profit making. There are many ways to do this but it is crucial to have a good infrastructure on which to build. By this we mean, amongst dozens of items, a proper legal framework, terms and conditions of business, credit control, customer service and complaints policies, staff policies, health and safety policies and in case things go wrong, insurance. Of course, business acumen and a bit of luck would not go amiss but we can't help you with those!
Whether you are just starting up, have been trading for years, being taken over or you are doing the take over yourself, you should make sure you have good, commercial legal advice to guide you along the way. This way you will find it is cheaper to get it right in the beginning than to sort out the mess later.
Employment
Any organisation, big or small, will find its biggest asset is the workforce. Good employment practice is fundamental to the success of the organisation as a whole and of its employees as individuals.
Employment law is a rapidly changing area with European Directives and UK legislation increasingly affecting the employment relationship. It is crucial that both sides of the relationship understand their respective rights and obligations are in order to move forward smoothly in a harmonious working partnership.
Whether you want general employment law advice, staff contracts/manuals or you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a dispute with your staff or employer, we will be glad to help.
