Case Studies: Real Solutions for Real Clients

At Attwells Solicitors, we pride ourselves on delivering expert legal advice with a personal touch. Our case studies showcase the breadth of our work and demonstrate how we provide practical, results-driven solutions to individuals and businesses across the East of England.

Business Law

Attwells Solicitors recently advised a client on the acquisition of a facilities-management business. A former business partner claimed 50 per cent of the share capital, valued at £600,000. Through expert negotiation and incisive legal argument, we secured a settlement of just £100,000 – a fraction of the original claim.

Our team routinely manages complex director and shareholder disputes, safeguarding owners’ control and protecting their assets.

We also represented the UK’s leading solar and heat-pump installer in a contractual dispute with a third-party marketing agency. Acting swiftly, we:

  • secured a commercially favourable settlement;

  • ensured all confidential information and intellectual property were retained; and

  • imposed restrictions to protect the client’s future business interests.

Since the company’s launch in 2022, our advice has supported its rapid growth, demonstrating that the right legal partner fuels business success.

Finally, the Attwells Commercial Team has completed a multi-million-pound business reorganisation and share sale of an accountancy practice in Essex. The transaction involved complex earn-out and claw-back provisions and was concluded within weeks.

Employment Law

An NHS practice near Liverpool faced an Employment Tribunal claim from two former GPs concerning employee status, automatic unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal.

Working to strict deadlines, our Colchester-based team:

  • drafted a comprehensive defence;
  • successfully challenged the Tribunal’s jurisdiction; and
  • safeguarded the practice’s reputation and resources.

This matter highlights our deep expertise in employment law and the specialised challenges faced by GP and dental practices. A CFO in the AI sector was placed ‘at risk’ of redundancy without due process.

Recognising that no genuine redundancy existed, we swiftly negotiated:

  • a substantial settlement package;
  • a retention bonus payable after termination; and
  • the preservation of a valuable shareholding.
