About Hollingsworths Solicitors

Greg Hollingsworth will be guest speaker at Friendly Friday on April 12th and will be available for your questions. Come along for help with legal issues affecting your business.

Greg Hollingsworth is a Director of Hollingsworths Solicitors, based on New Walk, Leicester. Hollingsworths advise businesses large and small on legal issues and problems. Greg explains how he helps SMEs and start-ups:

At Hollingsworths, we like to get to know our clients and understand their business – we are in it for the long term. What we try to do is be there to help our clients develop and grow, by trying to prevent problems arising, being available to answer questions and help with their worries.

Business owners aren’t interested in the law itself – what they are interested in is the practical impact of the law in their business. We focus on giving practical and commercial legal advice, and finding solutions cost effectively. Running a small business brings the occasional problem or concern – I try to help solve those legal problems.

PRofESSIoNAL, fRIENDLy AND HELPfuL LEGAL SERvIcE

GREG HOLLINGSWORTHAdvises businesses large and small on legal issues and problems

Practical Legal Advice

6

I do regularly get asked by small business owners about terms and conditions, and whether they need them. The answer depends on what type of business they are in, and who their customers are. In an ideal world, a business would have bespoke contractual documents. But terms and conditions are only useful in a well organised business where those terms can be incorporated in to the contract. I help with the practical side – making sure that the right systems are in place before introducing terms and conditions.

I am also often asked about cash flow problems, and collecting money in. for business to business transactions, Late Payment legislation allows a business to recover interest on an unpaid invoice at 8% p.a. over the base rate plus compensation of up to £100 from the debtor. This can help towards funding the recovery of unpaid debts or be used as an incentive to make the debtor pay.

for more information, visit www.hlegal.co.uk or contact Greg Hollingsworth at Hollingsworths Solicitors on 0116 204 7260.

What are the issues most small business owners ask you about?

We can help your business with: � commercial Agreements & contracts � commercial Disputes � Debt Recovery � Restrictive covenants in Employment contracts � Director and Partnership Disputes

We can help you with: � House Sales and Purchases � Re-Mortgages � Transfers of Equity � consumer Issues & Disputes

The independent charity Crimestoppers helps make communities safer places to live and bring criminals to justice by giving people the chance to provide information about crime anonymously. Crimestoppers is highly effective – In Leicestershire & Rutland over the past 3 months, from 381 logged calls there have been 259 positive actions including persons arrested and charged.

We are currently seeking:

Volunteers in Leicestershire & Rutland

In this exciting role you will make a difference in your community by working with a successful Crimestoppers committee of volunteer members – representing and fulfilling the charity’s work and objectives across the county to get people to give us information on criminal activity. Your role will include supporting other volunteers to deliver effective results in line with your experience, available commitment and overall aspirations.

Experience of delivering verbal and written proposals and presentations or be willing to attend events to promote the charity following attendance at a training day is desirable.

To become a member of the executive committee the role requires commitment but there are opportunities for associate volunteers who do not wish to attend committee meetings to work on shorter projects in the county with a smaller time commitment of between 3-12 months. Usually each volunteer commits to up to 8 hours volunteering per month. The time dedicated to the role will be balanced with the successful individual’s other demands. Reasonable out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed through committee raised funds.

TO APPLY: Please email CV and covering letter to sue.langley@crimestoppers-uk.org or for more information please phone Sue Langley (Senior Regional Manager) on 01455 844606.

Closing Date: 12th April 2013
