Our Knowledge, Your Business
If you are involved in retail or leisure, Irwin Mitchell’s Retail and Leisure Group can help you deal with the business requirements and challenges you face in a dynamic and highly competitive market.
Experts In Retail
Retail and leisure clients operate in a dynamic and often volatile market. Their businesses have to deal with many challenges, including:
- Difficult economic conditions
- Price deflation versus rising costs
- Changes in consumer and demographic trends (such as the impact of on-line shopping on high street retailers)
- Operating within the regulatory environment
We make time to understand our clients’ business and the environment within which they work, so that we can provide specialist advice and solutions to the problems they face.
We have considerable experience acting for retailers, including major national companies and small regional businesses, and our retail team delivers a diverse range of services such as:
- Advising retailers on all aspects of their property portfolios (including units in high streets, shopping centres, retail parks, factory outlets, leases, concessions and franchises, portfolio management, rents, landlord and tenant work)
- Advising landlords in connection with site acquisition, development and subsequent letting of premises to retailers
- Advising on employing and managing staff in the retail/leisure sector and on Human Resources issues
- Corporate and commercial services including mergers and acquisitions, group restructuring, joint ventures and commercial contracts
- Advising on corporate recovery and insolvency
- Advice on Intellectual Property issues
- Regulatory advice and information on new legislation affecting retailers
A great number of our clients have been with us for many years, and each have their own Client Relationship Manager, who is responsible for conducting regular reviews to ensure that needs are met and service improvements implemented.
We understand the importance of providing real value to you and we recognise that we must be competitive and flexible in our approach to pricing. In most cases, we agree a tailored arrangement with our retail clients that suit their needs. We usually charge at an hourly rate - although depending upon the specific requirements and the level of instructions, we are pleased to discuss alternative methods of charging such as:
- Fixed fees
- Blended rates
- A mixture of fixed fees and hourly rates which are capped or uncapped
- Retainers
