The law might be the same, but do your lawyers have to be?
Every client an advocate. That's the Wright Hassall way.
The law might be the same, but do your lawyers have to be?
At Wright Hassall we dare to be different. Our clients tell us that, as well as being exceptional lawyers, we are proactive, diligent, commercial, provide value for money and, above all, we have great people who are fun to work with.
We pride ourselves on the satisfaction levels of our clients. We have a defined way of working across the firm, “The Wright Hassall way”, which sets the service levels to which we aspire. At the end of every matter, we will ask you whether we have met these standards and, if not, we will work with you to ensure that any short-comings are addressed immediately. We do not stand still, we aim to continually improve in everything we do.

Case studies
Recently, we advised a housing association which had discovered that a neighbouring land owner who was not a tenant of the association had tipped large amounts of building rumble onto a driveway which provided vehicular access to some of the association’s buildings.
The drive way was blocked and could not be used. It was clear from the title documents that the association had a right to use the driveway, but the large amount of building waste made that use impossible. Dialogue with the neighbour proved fruitless and it was necessary to threaten and then issue court proceedings for an injunction.
We realise that our people are our most valuable asset and we understand that providing them with a great environment, challenging work and supported personal development is vital to our success.

A recent decision by the First-tier Tribunal has decided that contributions to, and subsequent loans from, a remuneration trust scheme were not ‘earnings’ or disguised remuneration. This contrasted with HMRC’s position that the sums were earnings and accordingly no corporation tax reduction should be applied and rather the loans fell afoul of the disguised remuneration rules under Part 7A ITEPA.
A recent Supreme Court ruling (R (Haworth) v HMRC) has highlighted the difficult line trodden by taxpayers who decide to challenge HMRC’s opinion that they are not entitled to the tax advantage conferred by entering into a particular tax arrangement.
The relationship we build with our employers is very important for a happy and functional work environment. However, things aren’t always so straightforward as disputes can arise.
We are proud to have been operating from our Leamington base for nearly 175 years. We are completely committed to supporting the growth of our region. We measure ourselves not only by whether we have met our own targets but how we have supported the Coventry & Warwickshire region and the business, charities and communities within it.
