With the economy in the doldrums, commercial landlords can reasonably expect to face an increasing problem with rent arrears and breaches of lease terms by tenants. In such cases, a landlord has rights which can be enforced without a court order but, as in all such matters, it is important to take professional advice before you act.

In these difficult times businesses are having to reduce employee numbers to ensure that they remain in a strong position for the future. We are supporting them by ensuring that this process is carried out in accordance with legal requirements and is managed effectively with all necessary support and on-site assistance.
