Our broad team encompasses employment, commercial, IT/IP, tax, finance and corporate expertise to allow us to provide a fully comprehensive service to our clients.

FAQ

No one body regulates retail in the UK. Retail is regulated by national legislation and consumer rights.

IT/IP refers to Information Technology law and Intellectual Property law. IP law governs the ownership and use of intangible human creations like brands, inventions, and artworks. IT law governs the digital dissemination of information, information security, and ecommerce. Intellectual property and information technology law overlap significantly.
