It’s all about the law. (No, it’s not)

I was just thinking this week about the way in which my business clients ask for my help. Here are some examples from the last few days.
I was just thinking this week about the way in which my business clients ask for my help. Here are some examples from the last few days.
Can I sign this contract? Should we embark on this joint venture with another company and how do we do that? We’ve worked on a ‘handshake’ with a firm in Holland for ten years but our new owners want something more solid, can you help? Can you “do” an EMI scheme?
These queries are framed as business objectives. They are not requests for a distributorship agreement, a JV agreement, resolutions, minutes, scheme rules and option agreements. Such documents record the intentions but we help with advice on the structure and means to deliver what the client wants and don’t only produce a nice suite of documents. We try to answer clients’ questions in clients’ language, the language of business.
For couples dealing with their relationship breakdown during separation and divorce, resolving disputes over how finances will be distributed and any children’s living arrangements will cause additional stress.
After talking to clients about the planning of their affairs, we at Walker Foster discovered a common misunderstanding over the difference between an executor and an attorney.
A concern for business owners is how to run their businesses efficiently, with minimal disruptions or disagreements.
When a parent’s estate is not divided equally, or when sibling disputes arise over inheritance rights, emotions can run high, and challenging a Will can become a complex and sensitive issue. Tensions between family members can escalate, leading to legal challenges that may strain relationships and result in prolonged court proceedings.
