Building for Success – or Failure?

One of the key things a business must get right to ensure its ongoing success is the location it decides to trade from. Choosing the wrong property or entering into a poor commercial deal can really limit an enterprise’s potential or, in some cases, be the difference between commercial triumph and failure.

Will you, or won’t you?

It is a number that is at an all-time high. More than 31 million people in the UK now do not have a Will, a number that has been rising over the last decade. But if you fail to make a Will and keep it updated, all your legacy will be is stress and worry for your loved ones, and at a time they are grieving and least able to cope with it.

Dying intestate – without a Will – also means that your belongings may not be dealt with in a way that you would want.

Forever in debt?

There is nothing more frustrating for those running an enterprise than winning the business, delivering the work and then failing to get paid for it. Those who are late in paying and those who refuse to pay cause so much frustration and worry for businesses. But with the help of a specialist, businesses can start to tackle these problems and turn around a negative situation to something that it is much more positive.

Trainee Blogs

``I used Else Solicitors recently to do my probate work, having had excellent service previously on some house sale matters. Kathryn Caple, their head of probate was exceptionally efficient and knowledgeable. I had total confidence in the expertise I was being provided and the work was completed in a very timely manner. Feedback was continuous and I was totally satisfied by the outcome``

Russell Jeans Probate Client

``We are very pleased with the service Else Solicitors provided for us. We had retentions that were overdue (circa £40K), the Main Contractor had missed the payment date on their Payment Certificate, when chased we were told that they couldn’t pay for another couple of months due to cashflow, we had been in similar situations before, having been given payment plans that weren’t met, and then companies go into liquidation.

I looked on the Internet and filled in Else Solicitors web enquiry form, A member of the team called me back and talked through the various options, which I took away to discuss internally with my business partner. We agreed the plan of action which Else's team executed swiftly and efficiently, dealing with all correspondence received from the Main Contractors Solicitors, our monies were received in our bank within 2 weeks.

Can’t recommend Else enough!``

``A massive thank you to Laura and the rest of the team at Else solicitors.
We had some issues retrieving monies owed from a previous contractor for the past 2 years, and the team really did go above and beyond.
From our point of view, it was money very well spent as within 2 weeks full payment was made by the contractor who previously had a very stern view of not paying.
Laura and her team battled many emails with the contractors solicitors, all of which was included in the price.
A massive thank you once again! Would highly recommend!``

Client

``I would like to extend my thanks to Chris and the team at Else Solicitors for their support and guidance over my recent purchase of Ethical Property Partners England and Wales.
Chris and his team,have been professional and supportive throughout and where needed have been prompt in their responses, often at late notice.
I was really pleased with their approach to helping myself and my Business Partner Paulene navigate the pages and pages of contracts and break them down into plain English where needed!
I'm looking forward to them being able to help with the next step of sorting our Shareholder agreements!``

Amanda Jarvis-Doyle Ethical Property Partners (Property Consultant)

``We provide international shipping services to customers and following the non-payment of an invoice, we instructed Else Solicitors to seek recovery of this.

Proceedings were issued and the case proceeded to a final hearing. We cannot thank the team enough for the work put into this case as the final judgment was in our favour and we recovered the debt in full, plus a portion of our legal costs.

The Team, specifically Chris Clark, explained each step of the process to ensure our understanding of the case and provided updates at every opportunity. We were very pleased with the final result and the support received on the run up to the hearing.

We would not hesitate to use their services again.``

Ian Hardie – Sales Director at Smart Directions Limited.

Laura and the team have become an excellent asset to our finance department over the last year. They have helped us recover debts in full from 2 particularly difficult payers that we had no hope of recovering ourselves! They make the process simple and easy to follow, and always have a quick, helpful reply when we need something clarified. I would recommend Else Law to anyone who needs additional help with pursuing uncooperative customers because so far they have a 100% success rate with us!

``I would like to thank Kathryn for her support and guidance throughout this protracted procedure of settling the affairs of my relative. My family and I appreciated your endless patience”

Mr Terry

``A huge thank you to Laura and Elselaw for assisting in recovering monies owed on a 12-month-old invoice. Even though our business is based in Australia, we were impressed how quickly they assisted with our enquiry and put us at ease given the international element to the litigation.

We would highly recommend any business based outside of the UK, who has a troublesome UK client, to consider using Else Solicitors (Laura!) to resolve their issue quickly and efficiently.”

John Morgan, Director of Forensic Instinct

“The Else Debt Recovery team have done an excellent job in keeping us organised and on track over the past 18 months and the Commercial Dispute Resolution teams input has been a great help in recent months, dealing with the more problematic situations, including collection of the largest debt by speaking directly with the MD and owner of the debtor company, taking the heat out of that situation”

Happy client

“We want to thank Kathryn and the team for their dedication and professionalism in dealing with our matter. We are all extremely grateful for your efforts”

Wills and Probate Client

``Forté Lubricants a division of Illinois Tool Works Ltd is a manufacturer and supplier of petrol and diesel-operated engine additives and has 40 years of experience helping and advising UK garages improve vehicle engine performance with our range of products.
Most of our debt recovery is done in house, however, we sometimes require Else to recover debts on outstanding invoices by one off buyers to the value of £500, resulting in Else recovering the money in full in less than 30 days.

Having a well-known reputable company in Else at the end of a phone is reassuring. We have found that since we have been using Else to recover debts, we have saved time, money and most importantly their expertise means that the debt is almost always recovered.

Else offer an outstanding service which we have used for over 5 years. We would thoroughly recommend their service without hesitation.``
