Buying commercial property is often straightforward, but what if you're not quite ready to commit?

A cross-option agreement can provide the flexibility and certainty needed to move a transaction forward, allowing parties to agree terms now while giving each side defined rights to buy or sell at a later date. Used in the right circumstances, they can help manage risk and provide greater confidence for everyone involved.

When a Judge hands down a 10-year prison sentence, what does that actually mean for the victim?

The Sentencing Act and rules around guilty pleas, time spent on remand and early release can mean the length of time an offender spends in custody is very different from the sentence victims hear in court.

For victims and their families, already dealing with the consequences of a serious crime, understanding how the sentencing system works can add another layer of distress and frustration.

Drawing on her experience of supporting victims through the criminal justice process, Lynn Mahon from Ralli Solicitors LLP looks at sentencing and early release from the victim's perspective and asks: does the system work for those most affected by the crime?
