    An overlooked pressure affecting many small businesses?

    why? Sorry but my experience of clients shows clearly that smaller companies, whilst less likely to even think about such processes, need such processes just as much as larger companies.

    An overlooked pressure affecting many small businesses?

    One positive step that can be taken is to embed into the B2B contract/supplier terms a clear and detailed dispute resolution process. I am not talking about a simple mediation clause , but about a set of detailed steps that are to be followed as soon as either party raises a dispute. Failure to...

    When your business grows, does clarity grow with it — or fall behind?

    Each fully understanding the view of the other is key. In shareholder mediation I would usually ask a key question and after the reply I would follow up to ask "'if I was talking in private to (the other party) how do you think they would answer this question" In this increasingly digital age...

    Minimum number of Shareholders for a Tax Exempt LLC?

    A private llmited company only needs one shareholder. A public company needs 2. Tax status is not affected by the number of shareholders but by the residence and trading details as other shave said above. That at least is my understanding but as my work is focused on dispute resolution within...

    Cease and desist letter from BMW AG, Germany - Advice needed

    I can,t help as to the claim but with them only seeking around £7,500 you either call a possible bluff and be ready to negotiate at much much higher rates should your call fail and they issue in court, or negotiate down now from £7500. But you must take advice from a German lawyer. Many years...

    Court vs ombudsman?

    But if the value is no more than £10,000 and you issue as a small claims and it is, as most usually, then allocated, to the Small Claims Track then the policy and practice is that the losing party is not required to pay the costs of the winning party. Further the court does not welcome legal...

    Looking for legal advice

    I imagine the reason why no solicitors have offered to help is that not only would their fees almost certainly exceed the liability to the telco but, as it it would come under the Small Claims Track you would not likely obtain an Order that they pay your costs. I know you say no-one even gave a...

    Bad debt

    You say she bought your service as an individual not as a company, but was it to do with a business she runs or was it a consumer service you provided? If the former, can you identify a business community she is involved with for buying business services? As to issuing in court, its in the...

    Stress-testing an AI-built "Day 182" Calculator (Need UK HR Input)

    Dylan Its not yet an Act (not yet had all its 'readings' and currently called The Employment Rights Bill 2025 (not 2026)). When passed into law it will retain the 2025 year in its name I suspect employers will simply be best advised to reduce the probationary period to, say, 5 months. You...

    Insolvency Act claims

    @Gyumri Its your use of the word 'now' in both your original post and this one that is the issue. This judgment does in no way amount to support for the notion you put forward that there ever has been a limitation period applying to minority prejudice claims which NOW no longer applies...

    Insolvency Act claims

    Firstly to clarify, the first line of the Report is:- " The issue in this case is whether any limitation period applies to applications for minority prejudice under sections 994-996 of the Companies Act 2006." IA86 was not an issue and, so far as I can see, was not even mentioned. There...

    Trying to buy a domain name I hold?

    Exciting! Whilst this is unlikely to apply to SEDO , let me issue a warning to others if approached by other registration companies. If someone thinks they have a better right to the name (eg it is the same as/similar to their trading name etc) and are contemplating raising a cybersquatting...

    Franchisee right to renewal and franchisor constructively trying to stop us.

    If the franchise is registered with the British Franchise Association (search here - note there are 4 different levels of membership so be sure to search all) then this will give you leverage in negotiations since they require compliance by their members with the European Code of Ethics for...
