Retail
Retailing is a dynamic and competitive activity and as all retailers know, the law impacts upon it in an extraordinary number of ways. Retailers need their lawyers to understand fully the challenges they face and to be the type of lawyers who focus on the possibilities the law allows rather than the prohibitions it imposes.
Manches has a dedicated team of lawyers that do just that. With a comprehensive knowledge of the retail sector, we are able to respond quickly and pro-actively whether you are acquiring property, engaging a senior executive, selecting an IT system, developing a brand, dealing with franchisees or negotiating with suppliers and distributors.
We have looked at the common themes that run through our retail activities and have developed a number of packages of services that are of particular relevance to retailers:
- Setting up a retail chain in the UK
- Buying an existing retail business
- Employing staff in the retail sector
- Establishing, developing and protecting a brand
- Creating a franchise network
- Outsourcing the administration of a retail real estate portfolio
- Management buyouts for retailers
We believe in sharing our experience with our clients, listening to their concerns, arranging seminars and forums on current issues and encouraging them to work with us to reduce the risks inherent in any commercial and, in particular, retail business.
