Our Service

We act for occupiers, shopping centre owners and developers of mixed use schemes (which include retail, leisure and residential elements) for national, regional and start-up players, as well as for leading international retailers coming to or expanding their business in the UK. We particularly focus on property matters, including acquisitions, developments and asset management. 

We also act for clients in the online retail and ecommerce space. Our clients include ecommerce companies, brands selling via both Amazon FBA and DTC, ecommerce and Amazon aggregators, as well as sellers and aggregators of ecommerce services and software (SaaS) businesses. We regularly act on sales and acquisitions in this space, as well as on commercial contracts, IP/IT and other day-to-day legal issues. 

Our broad team encompasses employment, commercial, IT/IP, tax, finance and corporate expertise to allow us to provide a fully comprehensive service to our clients.

FAQ

No one body regulates retail in the UK. Retail is regulated by national legislation and consumer rights.

IT/IP refers to Information Technology law and Intellectual Property law. IP law governs the ownership and use of intangible human creations like brands, inventions, and artworks. IT law governs the digital dissemination of information, information security, and ecommerce. Intellectual property and information technology law overlap significantly.
