Selling or buying a limited company? One of the key decisions is whether the transaction involves the business assets or the shares in the company.

Both routes have different legal considerations, from due diligence and warranties to employees, existing debts and obligations after completion.

Getting the right advice from the outset can help ensure the transaction is structured appropriately and that you understand exactly what is being bought or sold.

Our commercial solicitors can guide you through the process.

For many people, one of the biggest priorities when planning for later life is being able to remain independent and stay in their own home for as long as possible.

While future care needs cannot always be predicted, putting the right legal and practical arrangements in place can help ensure your wishes are clear and give you greater peace of mind.

From Lasting Powers of Attorney and recording your wishes for future care, to reviewing your will and wider estate planning, taking action early can make a real difference.

Our experienced solicitors can help you plan for the future with your independence, dignity and wishes in mind.

Does your subcontract cover intellectual property?

If youโ€™ve agreed to transfer ownership of intellectual property to a customer, you need to make sure you actually have the rights to do so.

When subcontractors are involved, your agreements should clearly address who owns the work they create, any licences required and when those rights are transferred. Otherwise, you could find yourself promising your customer something you cannot deliver.

Clear contracts from the outset can help protect your business and avoid disputes further down the line.

A commercial property boundary dispute can quickly become more than a disagreement over where one property ends and another begins.

Unclear boundaries can delay development work, disrupt business activities and potentially affect the value of the land. Resolving the issue as quickly as possible is therefore important for everyone involved.

In our latest blog, we look at some of the most common commercial boundary disputes, the evidence that can help establish where a boundary lies and the different options available for reaching a resolution.

Acting as an executor can involve a lot of time, paperwork and responsibility, particularly when dealing with a complicated estate.

While some people choose to handle probate themselves, there are circumstances where instructing a probate solicitor can make the process much easier.

You may benefit from professional help if you are grieving and do not want the added responsibility, you do not have the time, the estate is complicated or you need advice on matters such as inheritance tax or varying the Will.

At Feakes & Co, our experienced probate solicitors can guide you through the process and help you understand what is involved.

Franchising can offer an opportunity to expand your business and reach new markets without opening additional premises or building new teams yourself.

But turning a business into a franchise involves careful planning. From protecting your brand and developing your operating processes to preparing the right legal agreements and providing ongoing support to franchisees, there are several important steps to consider.

At Feakes & Co, we advise business owners from the early stages of considering franchising through to preparing the necessary agreements, documents and safeguards.

If you are considering franchising your business, speak to our team to discuss how we can help.

Using subcontractors can help businesses bring in specialist expertise and increase capacity, but does it also leave your business exposed to risks you thought you had passed on?

If your customer contract places obligations on your business, those responsibilities may still sit with you even when the work is carried out by a subcontractor.

Our latest blog looks at subcontractor liability in the UK, including back-to-back contracts, insurance requirements, liability, intellectual property, confidentiality and what a subcontractor agreement should cover.

Read the full blog to understand how you can better manage subcontractor risk and protect your business.
