Employment Law
Gone are the days when you had a job for life. Indeed, we appear to have entered an age where many people can go through life without a job.
Added together this makes for a cut-throat employment market where the employee is often the underdog. Thankfully we can change that.
Our experience with grievance procedures, disciplinary panels and employment tribunals allows us to fight your corner and uphold your reputation.
So if you have been harassed, intimidated, bullied, assaulted or discriminated in the workplace, give us a ring. It’s only natural you’ll feel anxious but we will give you all the advice and support you need – providing access to a specialist team to see you through.
Of course, not all cases will end up a court case or tribunal. We have significant expertise at Bennett’s Legal to help you find the most cost-effective and non-contentious resolutions to the difficulties you may be having with your employer. Lots of myths exist – so forget what you have seen on TV or heard on the grapevine and get in touch with our team of Solicitors by email or telephone 0844 472 2378.
Intellectual Property
Starting a new business? Full of ideas? Want the world to know about it?
Unfortunately there are plenty of sharks in the commercial waters and your smart thinking could well end up making someone else a fortune if you don’t surround yourself with the protective embrace of intellectual property.
Bennett’s Legal has wide-ranging experience of patents, copyright law, designs, brands and trademark law to ensure that regardless of whether it’s your music or your merchandising only you will see the benefit.
Starting a new business is exciting and all-consuming in equal measure, so make sure your hard work and creativity don’t go to waste.
Reputation Management
Reputation is everything. Regardless of whether it’s your own reputation or that of your business, projecting a positive outlook to your customers, clients and colleagues is one of the most important assets in your armoury.
In times of fierce competition, knock-down prices and low margins, often a good reputation can make the difference between survival and failure. Indeed everyone involved with your firm, from the MD down to the cleaner, have a duty to uphold that reputation. Remember, rebuilding a tattered reputation is much harder than creating a good one from scratch. Customers have long memories; so do business contacts.
We know that your reputation matters. So when someone writes something misleading it can cause upset, frustration and untold damage.
Bennett’s Legal is able to offer cost-effective advisory and litigation services to help ensure your reputation remains unscathed. Whether someone is acting in breach of confidence or maliciously trying to damage your reputation, we can help you reach the best solution.
Media Law
The media is now central to the commercial world and touches upon almost every aspect of modern life. Through newspapers, TV, radio or the internet, the media can be accessed by millions of users instantaneously.
But the digital world brings new challenges, particularly when it comes to anonymous authors all too ready to post defamatory and libellous material. Regardless of the outlet, Bennett’s Legal has worked across all media in ensuring our clients can tackle the menace head-on.
Our experienced team of Solicitors in Shrewsbury, led by Paul Bennett, has won many cases and even been victorious at the Court of Appeal so we are able to advise on everything from obtaining or preventing injunctions to challenging reporting restrictions.
