Description
Flint
Bishop manages your business needs in a refreshingly different way. We
all know that two people are never the same and that no two businesses
are identical either. It might sound like common sense, but it’s the
importance we attach to getting to know you and your business that
actually makes us quite unique. Experience tells us that this
practical, highly personal and experienced approach really does
work—just ask our clients.
Our partners and solicitors have years of experience in advising
businesses of all sizes, from start-ups, to blue chip companies. As the
secret to our success is all about relationships, whether you’re an
individual, an owner-managed business or a large corporation, we become
a committed part of your team, and you become a valued part of ours.
After all, no one knows your business better than you do. Our
clients would be the first to agree that our ability to successfully
advise businesses of all sizes really is impressive. The importance of
listening to what our clients have to say is something we never forget,
whether we’re advising them on complex high-value deals, or more
straightforward transactions. From acting on substantial mergers and
acquisitions to advising on compliance or lending and security
arrangements, our experienced and proactive team will work with you to
provide positive and pragmatic solutions, instead of merely pointing
out negative issues.
We pride ourselves on being business minded too, which ensures that
you benefit from the sensible and practical legal advice that you need,
along with the enthusiasm and attention to detail that you deserve.
You’ll also be reassured that our Corporate team is fully supported by
specialist departments across Flint Bishop, who are always on hand to
ensure that you’re provided with a complete legal service. The result
is a true team effort.
Contractual
relationships, whether with customers, suppliers or strategic partners,
are fundamental to your business. In our experience, disputes are far
more difficult and expensive to resolve if fundamental terms of
contract cannot be identified with clarity and certainty. Experience
also tells us that many clients are understandably too busy running
their business to analyse the full implications of arrangements they
enter into. That’s where we come in.
Led by an innovative partner who has spent over five years working
for one of the most recognisable names in the FTSE 100, the Commercial
team will work with you to identify the risks inherent in your business
dealings and help you to reduce or even eliminate them—whether it’s
assisting with management and negotiation of a specific project, or
helping you with your general trading arrangements. We’ll also work
with you to maximise your business opportunities by developing the
right contracts for your business. Sharing the knowledge is important
to us too, and that’s why we can also offer you training and support
that’s relevant to how commercial law affects your business. We can
offer advice on a wide range of contractual matters.
Unpaid
invoices and bad debtors are at best an irritation that can affect
relations with your customers. At their worst, they’re a problem that
could deal a serious blow to cashflow and profitability. The Debt
Management team has one goal—to get you to the top of a creditor’s
payment list, and resolve those debts quickly, efficiently, and without
affecting your business relationships.
Flint Bishop operates a complete debt management system and debt
recovery service. It’s a transparent system that allows you to track
the status of all your debts through our dedicated online case status
facility. We can advise you of your debtor’s ability to pay—and you can
decide whether to continue with litigation. We can also advise you on
steps you can take to minimise the risk of litigation too. Whether you
use us as an extension of your credit control team, or you outsource
all your debt management needs to us, every debt is treated on an
individual basis, by putting in place a strategy of collection
techniques that depend on a number of criteria, including the age and
type of your case. |
