Lawyers for Business
There are four key areas where legal advice can ensure good business and investment decisions:
1. Banking and Finance
Loan, debenture and share holder agreements can be complex documents with long term implications for the business, its owners and directors. You must be sure that the business’s viability is not threatened, and that your personal assets are not at risk. Check that any arrangements you enter into do not hamper long term plans, for example to sell.
We can help with all this, and explain and advise on factoring and alternative finance for cash flow.
We work closely with several “Business Angels” who are always looking to help finance entrepreneurs and small to medium sized companies.
2. Property
Business leases are much less standardised than residential leases, and careful reading and understanding is required. We can summarise the documents for you and advise you on any restrictive conditions, and the right to pass on the lease.
3. Employment Terms
A well drafted employment contract will protect you and reduce the potential for a dispute. Clearly drafted understandable agreements in plain English is our style.
We can cover sickness absence, health and safety issues, handling of grievances, disciplinary issues and equal opportunities cases.
4. Contracts
A contract should both protect your business and not contravene the many laws outlawing “unfair” contract terms. A written contract with terms and conditions will record exactly what you do for a client or customer, and give you the opportunity to state important matters like the timing of payments and the settling of disputes.
