Two new hires for busy Commercial Property department

We welcome two new additions to the Commercial Property team this month. April Foley and Claire Lee join the firm as Paralegals having both worked in similar roles in Lincolnshire for many years.

Business Interruption Insurance – recent Supreme Court decision means that you may be covered!

Many business owners who took out business interruption insurance would, quite reasonably, expect that closures arising from Covid-19 would qualify for coverage.

Employment Law: A whistle-stop tour of what’s to come in 2021

Unsurprisingly, the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed several key employment law developments that were expected to take place in 2020. Instead, we found ourselves having to get to grips with the unfamiliar concept of “furlough”, the Job Retention Scheme and the many Covid-19 related employment law changes. Notwithstanding all of this, the year ended with a Brexit deal and a Covid-19 Vaccine. We can only hope 2021 is a little more settled than 2020.
