Braxton Group

Braxton Group agreement and contract servicesBusiness Contracts
Our commercial department have wide ranging experience in advising on business contracts and agreements of all kinds.

You can find more about us at www.braxton-group.com

Whether you’re seeking a solicitor or lawyer for company law, commercial or business law legal documents, employment law, divorce & family law, conveyancing, probate, litigation or a host of other types of legal help, advice and services for business and individuals, you can count on us.

The advice we offer is always based on significant legal and, equally importantly, practical commercial experience, fixed fee pricing which is cost effective, often using our existing business agreements and contracts templates. We have a policy of “Plain English”. There is no waffle or jargon in the way we charge for our services or in the documents we prepare !

Contract Law
Getting your contracts right is a fundamental requirement for success in business.

At Darlingtons, we understand that bsuinesses, especially start ups and small businesses, often see legal advice as of little tangible benefit and considerable expense. However, the better way to look at it is, what are the consequences of not having the right business contracts ? These include potential inability to pursue debts owed to your business, litigation, possible cashflow issues or even being sued.

Our approach is to strike a balance between understanding a client’s need for cost efficiency and proportionality whilst also taking into account that every business is different, every sector is different and one size does not fit all for business contracts and can be a very danmgerous approach.

We use our experience and sizeable libraray of contract templates for each client’s bespoke needs. We can help with any type of business contract, whether employment contracts, terms and conditions or any other type of commercial contract or agreement.

What are the basics of a contractual relationship ?

In order to form a contract, the essential elements are:

1. offer
2. acceptance
3. consideration, which is a promise, an act, or a promise not to act and represents the value in the contract
4. capacity i.e not bankrupt and an adult
5. intention to create legal relations

Other advantages of our services are :-

•A fixed fee and practical report on business contracts and agreements which have been drafted by other solicitors concerning the transaction
•Our business contracts and agreements are in template form and can be adapted and re-used at low cost or no cost for repeated use
•A FREE 30 minute initial telephone consultation regarding any business contract you need

Resources to find a lawyer

“If you needed a lawyer for a personal legal matter, how likely would you be to use the following resources to find one?” Among the resources listed were webistes, directories, social networking sites and blogs.

According to the survey, Forty-nine percent of respondents were very likely or somewhat likely to turn to websites where viewers can ask lawyers for legal information if they needed a lawyer for a personal legal matter. Sometimes sites offer answers exclusively on legal matters, while other sites include legal matters among a variety of topics such as accounting, plumbing and health issues. The interest people have in using Q & A sites to help find a lawyer for a personal legal matter seems consistent with the notions that people want fast and free information on the Internet, be it legal information or otherwise. It is unclear from this research whether people anticipate using Q & A sites to simply solve their legal matters or whether they think about using it to identify a lawyer who is knowledgeable about their particular issues, who they then anticipate subsequently hiring.

Forty-seven percent of respondents were very likely or somewhat likely to turn towebsites where lawyers are rated. This type of third-party credentialing is not unlike the verification a person gets when they turn to a trusted source such as a friend or family member. Obviously, the distinction is that the viewer is unfamiliar with those who provide the ratings. Nevertheless, customer rating sites have becoming popular in a variety of matters, including hotel and travel resources, doctors and teachers.

The second tier includes directories and online matching services. Thirty-nine percent of respondents reported they were very or somewhat likely to turn to online directories as a source to find a lawyer for a personal legal matter. Online directories were an early resource for legal services when the Internet emerged as a commercial vehicle.

Directories typically enabled viewers to identify an area of practice, such as domestic relations or bankruptcy and cross tab that with a geographic location, often a state or major city. The refinement of a few dominant search engines may have disintermediated and reduced the value of online directories. Now a viewer can now merely search for a divorce lawyer in Peoria through a search engine rather than first finding a directory and then using that to ultimately find the lawyer. Search engines are facilitating local searches for lawyers in a field of practice in a particular location and enhancing the search through mapping features that help viewers find the lawyer’s office. Nevertheless, the likelihood of using online directories was in the middle of the pack in this poll.

Twenty-seven percent of respondents reported that they were very or somewhat likely to use a website where people posted their problems and lawyers interested in representing them would then follow up and contact the potential client. This question was intended to ask about matching services. However, it may have been awkwardly presented in a way that led respondents to the belief that their personal information was posted online for all to see. This possibility is supported by the fact that 50% of respondents reported they were very unlikely to use such a model, a percentage substantially higher than the other first and second tier models.

Respondents reported they would be far less likely to use interactive tools that commonly fall under the banner of Web 2.0 compared to the other models included in the research.

Less than one of out five of the respondents were very or somewhat likely to use social network sites such as Facebook as a source when they needed a lawyer for a personal legal matter. Fifteen percent were very or somewhat likely to use blogs.

Just fifteen percent said they were very or somewhat likely to use blogs. It follows, therefore, that blogs are ineffective as tools for client development, right?

Of course not. The question makes no sense. A blog is not a selection tool. It is not a directory. It is not somewhere anyone would go to “find” something.

Rather than looking at blogs and social media as something new, we think people look at blogs and social media as accelerators of relationships and your word of mouth reputation.”

The lead conclusion of the ABA survey is that the first place people turn when looking for a lawyer is to a trusted source.

The goal of all legal networking, we believe, can be summed up in those two words: trusted relationships. Just as consumers buy brand names over generics, legal consumers hire the lawyer their cousin recommended and corporate counsel retain firms based on colleagues’ referrals. In each case, what sways the decision is trust.

A blog is a reputation accelerator. Not every blog is. It has to be well done. It has to have thoughtful posts. It has to offer insight. I’m not talking about the blogs that are nothing more than SEO engines.

It is rare that a potential client will call a lawyer and say, “I’m calling you because you have a blog.” It is far more common, however, for a potential client to call a lawyer who blogs and say, “I’m calling you because I researched lawyers online who handle this kind of law and found frequent references to you.”

Trust is an amorphous and highly subjective concept. A blog is certainly no magic bullet. A blog can, however, provide substantiation for why you should be trusted.

Online networking is no different than traditional networking – if you overlook the fact that it is plugged in, supercharged and global in reach. When done right and to full effect, social media tools add rocket fuel to all of the ways lawyers traditionally get new business. They support client referrals and recommendations, they support peer referrals and recommendations, they take in-person networking beyond physical limits, they strengthen alumni relationships, they simulate conferences and publishing by enabling you to highlight your knowledge and expertise, they even allow you to respond to RFPs.

Social media are a set of tools for broadening and strengthening your network of trusted relationships. Used properly and effectively, social media will enhance your reputation, strengthen confidence in your “brand,” and broaden your professional and personal networks. All of these combine to give others a reason to trust you – and you them.

Blogging is a powerful tool for building a lawyer´s reputation. You need to have a foundation to build on. Blogging won’t make you a great lawyer or even let you pretend to be one. But if you are a thoughtful lawyer with knowledge and insight to share, blogging lets you do that on a level far beyond that of any other publishing platform.

Legacy and regulatory

Dodd Frank Act in its Title IV related to Investment Funds and Adviser Registration covers a vast array of financial activity from retail to institutional with domestic and extra-territorial consequences and makes major changes to the registration of private fund managers and eliminates the availability of the registration exemptions by foreign hedge funds and private equity funds.

The old exemption from registration for advisers with fewer than 15 US investors is eliminated as of July 21, 2011 and is replaced by new exemptions that are limited and therefore not terribly useful.

Consequences of this are to file a SEC registration to passport across the US and avoid the tremendous burden to undertake a review of the securities law on a state by state basis.

Advisers’ registration with the SEC implies the filing of Form ADV to disclose detailed information regarding the adviser’s business.

Registered advisers will face many obligations including compliance procedures, code of ethics, conflicts of interest disclosure, compliance officer designation, extensive books and records maintenance requirements…

Registered investment advisers will be required also to report once a year through the filing of Form PF thus providing significant amounts of detail regarding the private funds they advise – compliance date for filing may be as earlier as 12/15/2011.

Although seemingly in contradiction with Dodd Frank, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, FATCA is an over-reaching peace of legislation on tax avoidance that will trigger all financial intermediaries to enter agreement with US tax authorities and enforce tax information reporting and withholding for US persons investing via/in non-US entities.

Investments funds and Collective Investment Schemes are in the scope; therefore mutual/hedge/private equity/FoFs/ETF/managed accounts are all concerned by FATCA with some exclusion that would need to be reviewed and monitored on an ongoing base.

Custody, fund administration, private banking and transfer agency functions are all impacted by FATCA and it is therefore paramount to understand the different duties of FATCA and how they will need to be address on the value chain of your organisation.

Braxton has financial regulation expertise in cross-border provision of asset management services and is able to offer help on the consequences of these provisions to non-US investment advisers and all financial intermediaries and fund structures.

In that Judgment, three Dutch pension schemes (ABP, PGGM and MN Services), had brought a joint action before the court due to the fact that the Spanish dividends that were distributed to them were subject to a 15% withholding tax, whereas Spanish pension funds are not subject tax under Spanish Corporate Income Tax Law.
The positions of the claimants said that the tax treatment applied by them as foreign pension schemes in Spain was discriminatory under the european Law. Claimants stressed that the Spanish tax law was discriminatory on the fields of nationality as well as violating one of the four main principles of EU Law, namely the free movement of capital (Art. 63 TFEU). Claimants also based their arguments on the primacy of EU Law over the Spanish national law.
The Audencia Nacional concludes that the Spanish Tax Authorities (STA) should not have levied withholding tax on the dividends distributed to the Dutch pension funds and the STA will therefore have to refund the amounts withheld to the pension funds. Moreover this financial regulation has confirmed that the Spanish regulations have been discriminatory in the past against foreign European pension funds in Spain.
This discriminatory treatment has led to a differentiated tax treatment between non-resident and resident entities and this in turn, has violated the EU principle of the free movement of capital.
As a result of this judgment Spain is now one of the jurisdictions where companies may obtain a refund when they have been treated in a discriminatory manner under EU Law and are subject to greater tax burdens than local entities, provided the pension funds have made appropriate claims within the relevant time limits. However the appeal court judgment may be appealed by the STA at the supreme court. The judgment only refers to pension funds but the court decision may apply for other investment vehicles such us UCITS as well provided that the court refers to the change of law in Spain per 3 March 2010 which says that foreign pension funds and UCITS are subject to Spanish withholding tax but exempt from taxation on dividends and capital gains (with retroactive effect to 1 January 2010). Spain, thus, follows the line of thought established in ECJ cases such as Fokus Bank. EU/EEE pension funds are advised to file protective claims. They may still need to litigate in order to obtain a refund in Spain. Late payment interest will be accrued.
