L E Law Solicitors

Business Law

As a business ourselves, we recognise the difficulties that other businesses can face to survive and make a profit - cashflow, staffing issues, premises, the burden of compliance with regulations.

We offer a range of services for the business client including:

• Drafting and advising on all types of contract
• Employment advice (see our Employment Law page)
• Debt recovery (see our Debt Recovery page)
• Compliance advice
• Contract disputes (see our Commercial Litigation page)
• Partnership agreements
• Representation in Courts and Tribunals
• Insolvency advice

Debt Recovery

Isn't it a real pain when clients do not pay your bills? All businesses benefit from early collection of money owing. A good cash flow system is an essential factor to ensure success. Release your valuable time and leave Debt Recovery to the professionals.

We work in partnership with you as a trusted, outsourced third party, to recover either small or bulk debts. As an outsider to your business we can:

• step up the pressure on your customer where it may be difficult or inappropriate for you to do so
• defuse awkward situations without you being involved
• preserve your relationships with good clients by pursuing the debt firmly but tactfully

What does it cost?

What if we have to go to court?

Other organisations can send letters demanding payment but should your debtor dispute the debt or refuse to pay, only a firm of solicitors will have the expertise and experience to prepare a claim, go to court and obtain a judgment.

Divorce and Family Law

The breakdown of a relationship can be one of the most traumatic periods of anyone's life. Naturally, you will be concerned about your current financial and property arrangements and how the break-up will affect any children you may have.

We are used to advising clients in difficult emotional situations. We aim to provide sympathetic personal advice, tailored to your individual circumstances and requirements. We offer prompt and practical advice on how to cope with problems and resolve them.

Solving family law problems often involves many other aspects of the law. Our Family Team can call on the expertise of other associated professionals whenever necessary to advise, for example, on company law and tax and trust issues.

Our Family Team advises clients from all backgrounds with all types of problems and disputes, and has experience representing high net worth clients.

The areas that we can advise on include:

• Divorce
• Financial Orders following divorce
• Disputes involving children
• Separation Agreements
• Cohabitation and Pre-nuptial Agreements
• Disputes between unmarried partners about children and financial matters
• Disputes under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
