Real Estate
Commercial property solicitors
Dealing with commercial property can be incredibly complicated, whether you are a landlord, tenant, developer, corporate occupier or lender and are looking to buy or sell a property or are currently involved in a dispute.
Our team of specialist commercial property solicitors have years of experience working with landlords, tenants, developers and banks, and we are here to offer you easy-to-understand legal advice that will help you in your current circumstances.
Bankruptcy & Debt
Commercial debt recovery solicitors
Streamlining efficiency and workflow will be crucial in the coming months for many businesses as the new “normal” way of working begins. If your business spends time and allocates staff to chase overdue invoices, or as a business owner, you spend time worrying about how to recover money owed by clients, then it’s time to streamline and align your operation for maximum results.
Lupton Fawcett Solicitors are disrupting the status quo on Debt Recovery and the relevant charging structures. What this means for you is potentially 100% free debt collection on successful recovery when using our services.
Working with a trusted and established legal partner will help in all areas of credit management and debt collection. We have all the skills and experience that will save you valuable time and yield greater results than pursuing these matters yourself
Lawsuits & Disputes
Disputes & litigation

We have a track record of acting for companies, business, partnerships, and individuals and can offer a commercially focused approach to resolving their commercial problems.
Family

Employment & Labor
Every employee matters
A significant proportion of most peoples’ adult lives is spent working. So, it should come as no surprise that from time to time, many individuals seek legal advice and representation in relation to a wide range of workplace and employment issues.
Our award-winning employment solicitors have a trusted and proven track record in acting for individuals who require fast, pragmatic and effective employment law advice.
The team has particular expertise in acting for senior employees and executives and is frequently called upon to advise in relation to disputes concerning bonus payments and restrictive covenants.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property
As one of the most valuable assets for many businesses, your intellectual property needs the best possible protection.
Our intellectual property solicitors recognise the crucial importance of intellectual property protection and work with businesses and individuals to identify, protect and capitalise on the intellectual property they have developed within brands, products, inventions, ideas, designs, and other creative works. They advise on the strategic aspects of the creation and exploitation of rights, as well as help clients to defend and enforce those rights when IP disputes arise.

Our expert criminal defence solicitors have dealt with hundreds of formal interviews under caution, meaning you can be confident you have the backing of a strong and experienced legal team.
For businesses, even minor convictions can have serious implications and cause reputational harm. If you face any kind of criminal investigation you are best to contact us as soon as possible, as any delay in seeking appropriate advice can have serious consequences.
