Retail

Our retail team understands the importance of moving quickly in response to the challenging market conditions of our retail clients. We are flexible and accessible enabling us to respond swiftly to our clients needs.

Supporting retail business

We act for a number of multiple retailers (including a chain of national travel agents) and investment landlords. The latter work gives us valuable insight into commercial pressures on both sides of the transaction, as well as experience in managing their often competing priorities.  

Recent work we’ve undertaken has included a restructuring of a national men's fashion chain; acting for a retail tenant by seeking an interim injunction and damages against its landlord; and acting for a retail fashion client in a dispute over design rights and IP; and labelling advice in connection with the launch of a novel food substance.

Specifically we can advise on the following:

  • property: sale & purchase, freehold and leasehold
  • property disputes: landlord and tenant
  • planning, CPO and environmental advice
  • mergers, acquisitions, MBOs & MBIs, financing & restructuring
  • intellectual property
  • insolvency and debt recovery
  • licensing and franchising
  • construction: warranties & building contracts
  • employment
