Our expert landlord and tenant solicitors can advise you on all aspects of being a landlord, including creating and amending tenancy agreements, enforcement of covenants, eviction of tenants and squatters and lease renewals.

Employer

There are various issues employers need to be on top of, made harder due to regular changes to UK employment law. Having the right employment law support means you can effectively manage your workforce while staying within the law.

Our employment law solicitors can help you with day-to-day issues, such as creating contracts of employment, policies and procedures, as well as less common issues, such as terminations, redundancies and Employment Tribunal claims.

Whether you are a commercial landlord or a business looking to lease premises, ensuring you have the right lease agreement in place allows you to create a positive landlord-tenant relationship that fits both parties’ commercial goals.

Our business lease solicitors can help you draft, review and amend leases, as well as assisting you with resolving issues around forfeiture, insurance, landlord’s covenants, landlord’s continuing liability, rent reviews, repairs and lease renewals.

Company law can be a complex area, but one that it is essential to get right to make sure your business is set up correctly and that you are fully compliant with all of the relevant UK regulations.

We can help you with issues such as forming a company, maintaining statutory registers, drafting minutes of directors’ meeting and undertaking company secretarial work where required. Don’t neglect the all important terms and conditions too.
