Green Lanes at Harringay has more restaurants in half a mile than most high streets manage in their whole length, nearly all family-owned, and a family restaurant's legal problems are a fair sample of what business law solicitors in Haringey deal with: a lease with an upward-only rent review, a premises licence to renew, a brother who wants to leave the partnership, a supplier who has not been paid, and a landlord who wants the building back for redevelopment.
The borough's other businesses are no less varied: the shops and chains of Wood Green, the creative agencies, architects and production companies of Crouch End, the makers and designers in the warehouses near Manor House, the contractors who supply Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on event days, and the start-ups taking space in the new blocks at Tottenham Hale. Between them the stadium and Alexandra Palace have made events and hospitality a local industry with its own contracts and licensing.
A Haringey business solicitor incorporates companies and drafts partnership and shareholder agreements, with particular care for family firms where ownership, management and inheritance are tangled together; prepares terms and conditions, supply and franchise agreements; negotiates leases and licences; and advises on the alcohol, entertainment and street-trading permissions the council controls. Buying or selling a business, raising investment and restructuring before a sale are regular instructions. Disputes, from unpaid invoices to partnership break-ups and claims against directors, are issued in the county court or, for larger cases, the Business and Property Courts in central London, and most settle before trial. Insolvency advice, taken early, is often what saves a business, or at least its owner.
Company formation and standard documents are fixed-fee; negotiation and litigation are charged by the hour against an estimate.
