Meet Ziggy. He's our new cockapoo and he's keeping us very busy... But having said that, he's so lovable that we really don't mind. Given that we're dog-focussed at the moment, my ears pricked up (see what I did there) at the segment on Radio 4 yesterday evening regarding bringing dogs into work. Evan Davies' brought his whippet, Mr Whippy into the office to see how colleagues reacted. Not surprisingly, the response was mixed. However, interestingly, he did talk to one company which actively promotes bringing dogs into work, making this clear in its recruitment material and identifying separate areas in the office for those who may be less keen. Where do you stand on the issue - great idea which gives employees more flexibility, helps them to look after dogs which they acquired while working from home during the pandemic and excellent stress relievers - or an unnecessary distraction? In any event, I don't think Ziggy will be office-ready any time soon... #employmentlaw #hr

Head of Real Estate at Greenwoods Legal LLP | Expert in property law for hospitality, leisure and retail ventures
I LOVE Signature Brew 😍 So much so I managed to convince Greenwoods Legal LLP to fill the office fridge with their beer and serve it at our events...🍻 Now I know Sam McGregor didn't use the "L" word when he gave his testimonial but I like to think the feeling is mutual. #testimonial #realestate #hospitality #retail #restaurants

Harry Rudolf is back with key tips when talking to your landlord when you are thinking of assigning your lease ⬇ #CommercialProperty #Assignment #LandlordandTenant
SO YOU ARE THINKING OF ASSIGNING YOUR LEASE? PART TWO - TALKING TO YOUR LANDLORD 🕴 Following on from my post last week about assigning your lease: Let’s say you now have agreed terms with your assignee for them to take your lease and you are about to approach your landlord to obtain their consent to the assignment. Below are some further points you will need to consider before and when doing so: 💷 The landlord’s costs - Traditionally, any costs that the landlord incurs in order to consider and approve your application to assign the lease will be covered by the tenant (including their solicitors' and surveyors' fees). You may be able to get the assignee to pay such costs but there is no guarantee that they will and this will need to be kept in mind as an additional expense of the assignment. 💰 Rent deposit - If you have already paid a rent deposit to the landlord at the start of your lease, what is going to happen to this? Will the landlord repay this to you and demand a new rent deposit from their (soon-to-be) new tenant on assignment or will the deposit stay with the landlord to keep until the end of the lease (and then repaid to the assignee)? Either way this could cause a delay to the assignment (where you are still having to pay rent, service charge etc) so it is advised to come to a decision on this as soon as possible. 🔨 Alterations - Your landlord eventually agrees that the assignee can take the lease and has even agreed that the property can be changed from a cosmetics retail shop to a bakery. However, the assignee will need to get their fit out works approved by the landlord and will (most likely) not want to complete the assignment until their plans have been approved. This process is not always a swift one and the assignee should be encouraged to put their fit out plans together as soon as possible at the start of the matter. If you are looking to assign your lease (or looking to have a lease assigned to you) then please drop me a message if you have any queries! #commercialproperty #assignment #landlordandtenant

More changes to industrial action... We're continuing to see changes in the Employment law landscape as a result of the new government. Yesterday, a press release was issued confirming the Act which allowed minimum service levels to be required in certain key industries during strike action, would be repealed. While this is not a surprising development, it is an indication that the new government appears committed making progress with many of the changes they promised in their manifesto, within their first 100 days. #employmentlaw #legalupdate Greenwoods Legal LLP https://lnkd.in/gW5zJJ_w

Is your Will a private document ❔ We are often asked by clients when they execute their Will, whether they must provide their executors or beneficiaries with a copy. The answer is no – this is a matter of choice for them as during their lifetime, their Will is a private document, confidential to them. Find out more about whether your Will is a private document below ⬇ ✒ Author: Anna Turner

Let Harry Rudolf help you negotiate the legal maze known as ‘assigning your lease’. Here are three key tips when talking to the person taking over your lease. Cake optional. #commercialproperty #assignment #landlordandtenant
SO YOU ARE THINKING OF ASSIGNING YOUR LEASE? PART ONE - NEGOTATIONS WITH YOUR ASSIGNEE 🏢 So… business is booming and you’ve outgrown your premises. You’re ready for bigger and better things and have even found someone to take over your lease (nice work!). What next? Let me help you negotiate the legal maze that is known as ‘assigning your lease’. Here are three key tips when talking to the person who will be taking over your lease: 👍 Consent from your landlord - your lease will more than likely require you to obtain your landlord's consent to the assignment. It is best to check at the start of this process what your lease says on this point. Conditions for procuring your landlord's consent may include them obtaining (1) an Authorised Guarantee Agreement (i.e. you guaranteeing the assignee complying with the terms of the lease) (2) a third party guaranteeing the Authorised Guarantee Agreement (3) a personal guarantee of the assignee who is taking a lease and/or (4) a rent deposit being paid by the assignee. 👦 Who is the assignee actually going to be? - the landlord will want to see what financial strength the assignee has as they will not want to see a third party taking the lease who is in a worse financial position than their current tenant. If the assignee is a company, the landlord will usually want to see at least three years’ worth of accounts from the assignee and any other financial information that they can provide. Tying in with the point above, if the assignee is to be a SPV then landlords may ask for more security than just an Authorised Guarantee Agreement i.e. personal guarantees and a rent deposit as well. ⛔ Permitted use - what does your lease say you can do at the property? For example, if your permitted use clause states that you can only sell cosmetic products at the property and your assignee wants to turn it into a bakery*, the lease will need to be varied to allow for this (which will need your landlord’s consent). This can be dealt with at the same time as the application to the landlord to assign the lease but it will require more consideration from the landlord and lead to more drafting and expense on their part. Stay tuned as next Tuesday at 8am I will give you the essential points to make when you come to talk to your landlord, helping the process to run like clockwork and allowing you to build your business without getting bogged down in complex contracts. *If you’re considering leaving your premises and not sure of the next steps, send me a message and we can grab a coffee (or cake as I am partial to a slice of coffee cake) for a no-pressure chat. #commercialproperty #assignment #landlordandtenant
