Retail
"Strong roots in retail and its lawyers' thorough understanding of the commercial realities of the market." Chambers and Partners guide to the legal profession 2008
YOUR retail chain has a strong presence in the market. Business is flourishing, your organisation is sound and you're optimistic about the future.
But you are trading in a highly-regulated market place strewn with legal obstacles. It could mean problems across the range of retail operations, from retail property law to trading standards, e-commerce to logistics.
Because the law intrudes on virtually every aspect of retailing, solicitors Bond Pearce assigned a designated team of experts to deal comprehensively with the legal issues retailers may encounter.
That team is now firmly established among the elite UK law firms in the retail sector, and its work is characterised by anticipation - identifying potential trouble spots and acting to avert difficulties.
"We work across the board advising retail chains," Gavin Matthews, head of the Bond Pearce retail law team, says.
"We have a depth of experience that we believe is unmatched. And the breadth of advice we offer is across the board - anything from domain names through IT to employment law.
"Our retail lawyers understand the industry. They understand contemporary issues facing retailers.
"They know they have to work in a world of hard commercial realities. And our fees structures are transparent."
