Law for Business | Solicitors in Brighton, Uckfield and Seaford Sussex
From advice on the best trading structure for a business to selling a thriving company – and all points in-between – Rix & Kay is on hand. Our corporate law team has a wealth of experience and knowledge in dealing with all businesses from local, family-run SMEs to blue-chip, multinational concerns.
We help businesses understand and protect their assets. In today's corporate world, those assets come in many forms; not just premises, but employees and intellectual property. Most companies now have a website - giving each business the potential for its brand and corporate style to reach a global audience. The downside of this is that it can increase the risk of others copying your ideas. A corporate identity is as important, and as vulnerable, as individual’s identity and should be protected accordingly.
Commercial Property can be a particularly complex area from a legal standpoint. The average commercial lease is one of the most complicated and contentious contracts anyone can enter into. Generally a liability more than an asset, Rix & Kay carefully guides clients through this minefield, invariably drawn up in favour of the landlord. Our specialist knowledge has enabled us to understand and help rural businesses, international retail chains and the utilities sector.
Employees are a company’s greatest asset, but can also create problems for a business. In an increasing litigious society with new laws coming in to protect employees from perceived discrimination, we support employers enabling them to get on with running their business. Rix & Kay’s employment law and HR support services are second to none.
Our Gatekeeper bespoke package includes everything from an employment law health check, reviewing and updating all employment documents, to insurance to cover tribunal hearings.
Doing business is all about building relationships with others: suppliers, contractors, associates and partners - both in the UK and overseas. Business relationships, like any other, can breakdown resulting in commercial disputes. Wherever the issue requires, mediation or court proceedings to reach a solution, Rix & Kay is on hand.
