Regulatory
Regulations are part and parcel of the commercial landscape; they are the boundaries you should work within for your customers. Regulation is part of everyday life, affecting everything from how you package goods to how you advertise your services. You should ensure your business is armed to deal with any regulatory issues that come its way. Failure to comply can have serious consequences such as fines, bad publicity and in extreme situations, prison sentences.
Employment
Make every decision with confidence. Whether you’re a start-up or a well-established company, the decisions you make now on a wide range of employment and HR issues can have a long-lasting impact on your business. Our clear, pragmatic advice will help you get those decisions right. Employment law can be complex and challenging, so it’s important to seek expert legal advice to protect your interests. Our Employment team acts for local, regional and nationwide firms on a wide range of legal and HR matters, from recruitment to restructuring to redundancy. We’ve also built a great track record in trade union relationships and successfully representing the interests of our clients at Employment Tribunals.
Trading Contracts
The more businesses that you work with, trading and supplying products and services, the more important it is to have trading and supply agreements in place so you’re secure in the knowledge that your business, its commercial assets and your intellectual property are protected. These agreements are commonplace across most sectors as they set the parameters of your trading relationships.
