Successful defence of small business against major multlnational
Attwaters defended a company against an injunction and court proceedings brought by a major multinational. It was alleged our client was in breach of trademark. We defended the proceedings and demonstrated that although our client had some knowledge of the breaches, it was not involved with the perpetrator. The multinational backed down and paid our client’s costs (costs which caused the opposing solicitor to comment that Attwaters give clients good value for money).

We acted on the sale of a domiciliary care company for a price of approximately £6.5 million. Our client, the vendor, was taken on as a consultant by the purchaser company. We dealt with all the documentation and legalities involved in the sale and negotiated and drafted the consultancy agreement.
Leisure sector sale of surplus assets to raise capital
A leisure company needed to raise capital by selling off some surplus assets. We acted on the disposal of two hotels and the sale of the shares in a company running a nightclub from leased premises. The transactions had to be co-ordinated to reach contemporaneous completion.
Purchase of sites; planning agreement; part disposal of 50 unit residential development
We acted for a developer company on its acquisition of two adjoining development sites. We negotiated the terms of a planning agreement which led to the granting of planning permission for the build of approximately 50 units, a mix of apartments and houses. We then acted on the sale of part of the site for the provision of affordable housing and represented the client in connection with the development agreement to build those units.
