"Superb input, advice and guidance." The Legal 500 UK 2010
The sector is a complex, varied and valuable one. Politically it has a fair wind, with hopes for an economic recovery firmly associated with rebalancing away from the recent dependence of financial services, but the problems of the last few years have not, suddenly, been met.
There is reason for cautious optimism, however and DAC Beachcroft is here to help maximise the benefit from positive changes.
The present administration has a commitment to reducing the regulatory burden – we are constantly reviewing how clients can best take advantage of any relaxations without falling foul of the rules and sanctions which remain.
Changes in Employment Law are under consideration. We will help prepare and train HR managers to adapt their culture and practices to any new regime.
The downward movement of Sterling against the Euro has improved our export opportunities. This may be under some threat from the unpredictable future of the single currency, but managing the legal risk of international trade through effective contracts, working where appropriate with our European colleague firms is a key element of our commercial service. Anglo-Spanish trade is a particular strength.
At DAC Beachcroft we help our clients improve key performance aspects of their business, from supply chain management to internal systems and processes and we help them anticipate change, to stay ahead in a highly competitive industry.
