Commercial Property
Effective management of property assets is key to successful financial performance and when providing advice we take care to not only address your immediate issues and concerns but to also consider potential future issues and advise accordingly.
Corporate
At FDR our aim is to provide you with proactive, corporate advice whether you are based locally, regionally or nationally. Our corporate lawyers act for a variety of organisations, companies, businesses, partnerships and individuals.
Commercial Litigation
Disputes are costly and a drain on business resources. Our Commercial Litigation Team is recognised for its business and commercial acumen, with a keen appreciation of the commercial reality of advantages and risks that face our clients. Our overriding aim is to secure a satisfactory and early resolution to any dispute.
Insolvency
We are able to offer contentious and non-contentious insolvency expertise in relation to both corporate and personal insolvency. We advise insolvency professionals and individuals/companies.
Employment Law
Complex employment law issues lie at the core of every business. Whether you are an owner, manager, HR professional, in-house lawyer or employee we can offer you cost effective, tailor made solutions to every employment law question.
Compromise Agreements
Compromise Agreements, or Severance Agreements, can be an effective way to deal with termination of an employment relationship. If handled correctly, these agreements can be used to resolve disputes, offer a clean break to both employer and employee and draw a line under the employment relationship.
Employment Protection Scheme
Employment law is changing all the time. It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure that their employees' rights are fully protected. We can offer our clients an exclusive ‘Employment Protection Scheme’ which covers the costs of legal advice and representation and Tribunal Awards.
Licensing
FDR can assist with all aspects of licensing applications, reviews and additional issues experienced by licence holders under the Licensing Act 2003 and Gambling Act 2005.
