Much of the recent work undertaken by SA Law’s retail team – both in direct advice to clients and commentary to national/local media – has been helping retailers to achieve success in the face of escalating market pressures.

The erosion of consumer confidence caused by the now widespread effects of the credit crunch comes at the end of a relative explosion in online spending. Both of these factors continue to change the face of UK retail, with a significant effect on high street and rural outlets.

Environmental issues and social responsibility have also become more pressing issues for the industry as more and more consumers apply ethicality to their shopping decisions. And this is of course being more than matched by the government’s campaign to improve environmental and disability access standards throughout the nation.

Whether you are facing a threat to your business or simply wish to enhance your commercial position, SA Law’s retail team can steer you towards greater security and prosperity. We will ensure your commercial opportunities are maximised to their full potential, whether it concerns your property, staff, contracts or agreements.

We help retailers to expand, restructure or change the way they do business if, for example, you are moving online for the first time or opening a new store. And if you are facing a dispute, we will solve it quickly, cost effectively and with the minimum of disruption to your trade.
