Welcome to our October newsletter

Welcome to the latest edition of the Bracher Rawlins newsletter!

Our first article this month outlines the key legal points to consider in regard to distribution logistics when looking at a new commercial property for your business.

We also consider the issue of when you can claim interest on outstanding debts, and what rate of interest you can collect.

Matthew Cowan was invited to take part in a round table discussion focusing on client service for the latest issue of Modern Law magazine this month. Check out the article below.

Plus meet Rachel Atherton, partner in our Corporate & Commercial team.

We hope you enjoy this edition and would love to hear feedback on any topics you would like us to cover in future.

Looking at new business premises? ‘Wherever your business sits in the supply chain, logistics will be key,’ says partner in the Property team, Richard Price. ‘Aside from good transport links, there are several legal issues to consider.’

In this article Richard considers any formal restrictions on use and consider whether the logistics activities arising from your business are likely to cause a nuisance.

If you own a business and are chasing debts it can have a significant impact on cashflow.

You can however seek interest payments on debts owed - George Masefield, partner in the Litigation team, provides some practical guidance on how you can go about doing this.

Matthew Cowan was delighted to be invited to take part in a discussion on client service for the most recent edition of Modern Law magazine.

The article considers how three law firms of differing sizes navigate client care, why it is so important and how building and maintaining relationships is key.

Matthew explains that Bracher Rawlins has many deep and long-standing client relationships that are key to the firm’s success. The firm ensures a bespoke service by taking time to listen and fully understand what clients need, and then tailoring their approach to each client. This includes prioritising what is most important to them but also advising the client on matters they perhaps haven’t considered.
