 London Gynae Cancer Care specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of women’s cancers, particularly cancers of the ovary or fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus (womb), vulva and vagina.

How is vaginal cancer diagnosed?

The symptoms of vaginal cancer include:

• ·         smelly or blood-stained vaginal discharge
• ·         pain during sexual intercourse
• ·         a lump or growth in the vagina
• ·         persistent itching in the vagina.

Property Management Services – Charente France

 

 

Property Maintenance Services
GardeningServices
And . . .

We would say ‘More’!

But, ‘Less is More’ so how does our approach differ from other property services.  Easy!

The art, or should we say the business model, is in the design.  Let us explain . . .

Your property means business – you need maximum return on your investment. The return is by putting your property to work, probably through paying guests.  However, keeping on top of your property and ensuring that it looks polished and well groomed takes time and money which will eat into your return on investment – your ROI, for short.  But, a well thought out design and property maintenance services plan will accommodate high traffic at affordable cost allowing you to ring fence severe depletion of your ROI. This is where we are different from the others.

As graduates in Architectural Design (the Royal Institute of British Architects), Construction and RICS (the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) property valuation coupled with experience in finance, conveyancing, construction, landlord and tenant law, prestigious landed estates property and facilities management, as well as practising property investors, we have fine tuned our acumen which allows us, and you, to benefit from minimal property design styling of a quality.  For example, how could you maximise occupancy with the spaces that you have?  How can you cut the cost of garden services, yet still retain an aesthetic appeal?  How can you prevent gîte wear and tear?

When property means business, a different mindset is needed from that of the owner-occupier.  It is for these reasons that we are different.  Yes, of course, we carry out gardening services in cutting, trimming, weeding and property maintenance in plastering, pointing and plumbing etc, but so do the others.  But most others do not straddle both fields – we do and that is where you will benefit from more for less.

That’s why we say . . .

‘Less is More!’

WHY DO COMMERCIAL MEDIATIONS FAIL?

A leading global conflict resolution consultancy has published its latest  audit into the state of commercial mediation in the UK. The report, by CEDR (the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) suggests that while the success rate of mediation remains steady, fewer mediations settle on the day of mediation. Overall mediators resolve fewer disputes on the day, and when disputes are settled at mediation they take longer to resolve.

HOW DO I SUCCEED IN MEDIATION?

Mediation is a proven, effective dispute resolution method. But both sides must approach it with the right attitude. In our experience an unrealistic expectation of an ‘easy win’ reduces the chances of success considerably. Here are some ways to increase the probability of a successful mediation:

Adopt a constructive attitude  – One reason why businesses choose mediation over court is that they retain control of the dispute. And they have the opportunity to agree the outcome instead of handing responsibility for the decision to a judge. But to take advantage of mediation and all its benefits you need to commit to the process. Too often one side comes to mediation because it feels coerced into doing so. A court may have warned of negative cost implications if there is no attempt at mediation or some other form of alternative dispute resolution. If there is a cynicism or fundamental lack of belief in the process it has little chance of success.

Don’t mediate too soon – Sometimes early attempts at mediation fail because there is not enough information on the table to enable settlement.

Spend time on strategy – Mediation may be less formal than court. You might not be bound by so many rules and procedures. But the inherent flexibility in the mediation process does not mean you should turn up unprepared:

·      You should be sure of your legal position

·      Ensure your team has agreed what, if any, points you are prepared to concede on

·      Be able to defend the positions you are taking on certain points

·      Have arguments ready to persuade the other side of the reasonableness of any offer you are prepared to make or stand you are taking.

Get the right mediator – The choice of mediator is crucial. He or she must be impartial so even if the other side suggests a particular mediator, don’t immediately reject the choice without good reason. Check the qualifications and experience of the proposed mediator to see if they are likely to be effective in your case. Are they familiar with the subject matter of the dispute? How often do they perform mediations? Examine their track record of success. How do you think someone with their personality will interact with your team and with the other party in the mediation?

TURNING FAILURE AROUND

Even when mediation fails initially, the exercise can often turn out to be a stepping stone to a successful resolution of the dispute. A mediator’s attitude to the negotiations can concentrate thinking about what a judge might decide if the  case ends up in court. This, together with the more detailed understanding of each side’s position (gained during mediation discussions) can encourage an out- of-court settlement.

At Nath Solicitors in London we use a range of methods to help clients find solutions to commercial disputes. This includes mediation. As the CEDR report makes clear, mediation as a form of dispute resolution is here to stay. In the last year alone this form of dispute resolution was used in commercial claims worth £10.5 billion.

If you are involved in a commercial dispute and want to find out how mediation might work contact Commercial Disputes Resolution Lawyers at Nath Solicitors or Call us on +44 203 670 5540 or +44 (0) 7545 813 894 or contact us online.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR CLOSE PROTECTION OFFICER?

As the demand for personal protection grows the need for enhanced security screening is more important than ever. In the UK the Security Industry Association (SIA) provides a degree of regulation. But with more than 14,000 association-licensed close protection officers to choose from it can be hard to ensure you employ legitimate, trained bodyguards that are right for you.

REDUCING RISK 

At Nath Solicitors in London we are experts in carrying out the due diligence process for security personnel and preparing the contracts to ensure you have peace of mind.

We ensure you know exactly who you are employing or hiring to act as your close protection officer, bodyguard or chauffeur.  We prepare all the necessary contracts and carry out due diligence so you have peace of mind.

The British Standards Institution’s BS7858 is the benchmark we work towards. It sets out best practice for screening staff where the safety of people or property is essential or where sensitive data or confidential information is at risk of unauthorized disclosure. The kind of checks we carry out include:

·      The industry background of applicant

·      A full SIA check

·      A criminal record check (CRB)

·      Medical history

·      Whether the individual has advanced driving qualifications

·      Employment history – is the individual ex military or former royal protection squad? What is their hands-on experience in a security environment? Will you benefit from a lifetime of skills training?

·      Whether there are any gaps in employment history. If so, is there an adequate explanation?

·      Are applicants trained in the correct use of force? In the UK close protection officers cannot carry arms so they must be able to diffuse tense situations through negotiation and other skilled methods of conflict resolution.

·      Character references – we check every detail and verify referees

·      Previous career and whether there are extensive periods of continuous employment

·      Evidence of county court judgments and bankruptcy proceedings

·      Credit history

·      Whether the individual appears on the electoral roll

THE RISK OF APPOINTING THE WRONG SECURITY STAFF 

For many international business people and others who choose to settle in London with their families, there is a genuine, ever-present threat of kidnap and physical harm. From a commercial perspective hard-earned reputations can be irreparably damaged if private information gets into the wrong hands.

Would you leave your child with someone you didn’t know? Or entrust key business personnel or data to a stranger? If you don’t run background and other checks on close protection officers before employing them that is effectively what you are doing.

In addition to the 14,000 SIA licensees mentioned above, there are many unregulated individuals offering security services too. Remember:  

·      Potential security officers might exaggerate the potential threat to you and offer an inappropriate level of protection

·      A close protection officer who is unregulated and who has not been subject to extensive security screening poses a risk to you, your children, other family members and your business associates

·      An unscrupulous individual can use his or her position for personal gain and compromise you

·      There is always the risk of damaging security breaches

5 LEGAL TIPS FOR YOUR NEW BUSINESS

Nath Solicitors helps businesses get off the ground. We work with SMEs, owner-managed enterprises and larger companies in London and elsewhere providing legal advice when it’s needed most. We have provided support to many of our clients from their inception, helping to foster growth and consolidate their market positions with robust and practical legal solutions.  Here are five things you should think about from a legal perspective when you are starting a new business.

Get the structure right – Choosing the right legal structure for your start-up is crucial. It will determine the way you pay taxes, buy and sell services and outline the responsibilities of key individuals within the organisation. Generally businesses begin life as one of the following:

·      A sole trader

·      A partnership

·      A limited company

·      A limited liability partnership

Before deciding which structure is best for your business you should think about how much control you want to have over the running of the business, what legal liability you are willing to shoulder, administration costs and how flexible you want the management of the business to be.

2.   Protect your assets – With new businesses your ideas and the way you approach things are often your most valuable asset. It is essential to proactively protect your intellectual property and other commercial assets. This means registering trademarks where appropriate and monitoring what others, including your competitors are doing. When you buy something from a third party ensure you are also purchasing any copyright or other rights over it. You should also have systems in place to act quickly if a third party infringes your rights.

3.   Put agreements in writing – It may be tempting to undertake work or provide services on an informal basis when starting out. All business is welcome of course. But our experience as commercial contract solicitors over many years has shown the dangers business expose themselves to when not recording responsibilities and obligations in a contract of some kind. 

4.   Have a comprehensive shareholder or other agreement – Whether you are starting a limited company or your business is structured in some other way a comprehensive agreement is essential. This might be a shareholder agreement, a partnership agreement or some kind of joint venture document. Even though it’s hard to envisage disputes when you are starting out, they do happen. And the can be hugely damaging to your commercial interests and day-to-day operations. A shareholder agreement will set out what happens when there is a disagreement. It may also reduce the potential for dispute because it will specify how you and your fellow directors or partners will take decisions and manage the business. For companies, an agreement can also determine how and when shares can be sold and include built-in protections for different classes of shareholder. It also shows outsiders and potential investors that you are a well-run enterprise that has planned for the future. 

5.   Find professional advisors you can trust – We believe that businesses supported by expert professionals have a competitive edge. It might involve an investment in terms of fees. But it is a sensible move. Trusted lawyers, accountants and tax specialists that understand your business can provide invaluable support and guidance when the unexpected happens. They can also ensure you meet your legal responsibilities and are compliant with relevant regulations in areas like employment and data security.  

When starting a new business it’s easy to rush headlong into it without considering the legal implications of how you are going to run things in the long term. There is a lot to be gained from standing back, getting the right advice and putting your business on a sound legal footing – from the beginning.
