Contracts form the basis of the majority of interaction between individuals and businesses, ranging from a simple sale of goods to complex commercial agreements relating to franchises, distribution, commercial agencies or the sale and transfer of assets of shares.At Latimer Lee, our commercial contract solicitors have experience of dealing with all manner of agreements.
We can assist you to ensure that your business is protected in its dealings with customers and suppliers alike to minimise exposure and the risk of litigation.As with all aspects of our service, we aim to identify your objectives and achieve them cost-effectively and with the minimum of disruption to your business.
Corporate Governance means ensuring that business is done competently, with integrity and with due regard for the interests of all stakeholders. Good governance is, therefore, a mixture of legislation, non-legislative codes, self-regulation and best practice, structure, culture, and board competency.
At Latimer Legal Solicitors, our Corporate Governance solicitors can advise you on the proper running of your business and provide you with the relevant documentation to support best practice, including minutes of board and general meetings, director and shareholder resolutions and policies for your business to demonstrate compliance in a range of areas, including Employment, Health & Safety and the Bribery Act 2010.
From recruitment to post-termination, the law governs how a business must conduct itself in all aspects of employing staff or hiring consultants who may not be considered employees for legal purposes but who could well be deemed employees in the eyes of HMRC.
At Latimer Lee Solicitors, we have experience of dealing with all aspects of employment law and we are able to advise your business how best to go about taking on new personnel and, should the need arise, what to do if you feel the need to discipline or dismiss a member of staff.
We can also assist you with the compilation of comprehensive staff handbooks, including policy writing, and our Solicitors can also arrange and provide in-house training for you and your staff on a range of employment issues.
