COMMERCIAL LAW
Commercial Law is another highly complicated and important legal area of work. We at Byrne Frodsham & Co. can assist in all such matters. We focus on the legal needs of the sole trader, small business, or companies. Each case has its own unique requirements which we take on board offering an individual client-centred service.
Charles Asbury and Ceri Rees are the Solicitors involved in this particular area of law.
We regularly deal with the purchase and sale of small businesses. The work can relate to just the premises and/or the actual running of the business itself. We deal with leasing of shops offices and factories. The accounts, clients, fixtures fittings and good will are all relevant. The Leases under which business premises are often held are highly complicated legal documents creating long standing relationships. The wrong form of Lease for business premises could ultimately destroy a business.
At Byrne Frodsham & Co we can advise on all such points and help you through the business maze.
It is vital to have experienced lawyers such as ourselves looking through the legal documentation before it becomes binding in order to spot and eradicate any potential problems. We will do our utmost to guide you through your rights and act for you to resolve matters with the minimum of fuss and disruption.
We will deal with your business matters expeditiously, estimating costs and expenses involved. If Court action is necessary we will advise you on the prospects of success. In this way you will be able to make an informed personal decision on whether or not you should proceed with litigation.

EMPLOYMENT LAW
We act for both employers and employees which gives us the widest possible experience to enable us to deal with your case. We can advise you on the correct legal procedures involved and your rights under English employment law.
Many small businesses do not have a standard employment contract and do not get around to preparing one. This is not in anyone’s interest. It results in a high level of uncertainty in the relationship between employer and employee which is unnecessary and potentially damaging to both parties.
We will draft you an employment contract to which either party can refer in the event of a dispute. We can advise you about terms appropriate to your particular circumstances including hours of work, pay structure, commission, bonus, over-time, holiday and sickness/maternity entitlement, job description, disciplinary and grievance procedures. With a comprehensive employment contract everyone knows where they stand.
An employment contract prepared by our firm will go a long way to avoiding employer/employee problems. If disputes do arise we can act as negotiators or provide representation in unfair dismissal cases and redundancy claims in tribunals either for the employer or the employee.
If necessary we can advise upon and draft termination agreements and negotiate severance packages for either party.
This firm has a proven track record in assisting vulnerable employees to stand up for their rights against the strength of the employer. We also have extensive experience in advising employers who may feel under pressure from a series of threats from an employee. Whether you are employer or employee you should never give way to intimidation but should consult this firm where our advice is in total confidence.
