At Birkett Long Solicitors we provide proactive advice designed to save you significant cost and acrimony in the long run. We will advise you on the different types of trading entities available in order to help you identify the one most suited to you and your business needs.
We have a great deal of readily available information, including a business start up pack, for new businesses and Sole Traders. Our main concern is to ensure you are aware of key regulatory provisions and to assist you to understand and limit your liability arising from the business.
Unfortunately when it comes to Partnerships we often come across the situation where partners, end up in dispute and do not have a partnership agreement. Disputes tend to be very acrimonious, despite our best efforts to try and settle the dispute, and can cost the partners considerable sums of money to resolve. Much of this acrimony could be avoided, if they had a properly drafted Partnership Agreement. Although we have the experience and knowledge to deal with partner disputes please help us to help you by contacting us early on in the life of your business to avoid yourself unnecessary expense.
We also have expertise in advising Doctors, Dentists and Vets, assisting with the different business arrangements that such professions traditionally utilise. We can also review and update, or draft new, partnership agreements to ensure that they do not conflict with terms of the GMS Contracts that GP practices have entered into.
Having established the entity of your choice we can also provide ongoing support to ensure that all procedural requirements are met and satisfied. Our clients range from sole traders, to medical partnerships and property joint venture Limited Liabilty Partnerships (LLPs).
