Managing your business has never been more complicated. The regulations imposed upon property owners and employers require detailed knowledge of the legislation and Rules of Racing to enable you to establish systems and procedures that streamline your business management.
Between them the partners in our Racing and Bloodstock team have worked with professionals in the racing for over 30 years. They have a very real understanding of the needs of those working in racing, an industry that is heavily regulated and within which the legal issues arising can be specialised and complex.
Our team have once again been independently rated as one of the best in the country. We are genuine experts, so you do not have to waste your own time and money educating us about the world of racing.
Our services to trainers are specifically tailored to help you meet the challenges you face. We have an innovative approach to meeting the needs of clients and this was recognised when we won first place in a category of the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Awards.
Sector Knowledge
Our team consists of a multi-disciplinary group of lawyers with expertise in regulatory issues, property, commercial, employment, trusts and tax, development and dispute resolution. Each member is an expert in their own field being drawn from larger teams with in-depth and specialist legal knowledge. As a result we can provide a comprehensive service on all aspects of your business.
Regulatory Issues
With many years of experience of Jockey Club and HRA enquiries we understand the various issues today facing trainers under the Rules of Racing. Our team is recognised as one of the best in the country and has successfully represented countless industry professionals in enquiries at Portman Square and Shaftesbury Avenue.
Commercial Property and Development
We act for property owners as well as landlord and tenants when negotiating the terms of new business leases.
If you are a property owner, your premises may be the most important item on your balance sheet. We will help you identify common sense strategies for the acquisition, management and possible diversification of your business premises. We can help you navigate the regulatory and legal minefield that can exist when attempting to maximise the opportunities presented by diversification. We know where problems are likely to arise and will always advise proactively giving practical commercial solutions.
Employment
Failure to adhere to relevant employment legislation can be extremely damaging. Our Employment specialists are recognised nationally for their expertise, and can provide support with both Employment law and HR matters. With our understanding of the racing and bloodstock industries, we can tailor that advice to the issues that you face.
Dispute Resolution
It is inevitable that disputes will arise from time to time either with owners or others with whom you conduct business. We are already aware of the industry specific remedies open to you, whether within the NTF/ROA Training Agreement or under the Rules of Racing.
We can assist in your debt collection and our expertise also extends to all forms of dispute resolution including arbitration, mediation and litigation.
We ensure that any dispute is addressed in a proactive common sense manner with the aim of resolving it as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
Wills, Trusts and Tax
No one owns their assets forever. Whether the issue concerns making a Will, tax planning to minimise Inheritance, Income or Capital Gains tax or the administration of an estate or trust we can help.
Our experienced and knowledgeable team will guide you through the maze of legal and practical points, doing so constructively and compassionately.
