SO Legal give business leaders the latest in legal and property advice

Director Hamed Ovaisi covered the legal process of transferring the business in an asset based sale, while fellow director and Head of Commercial Property & Development, Hamish Smith spoke about the property transfer and what’s involved when it comes to both leases and the sale of property.

“We’re delighted to have partnered up with the Savills team,” said Hamed Ovaisi, Director and Head of Corporate and Commercial Legal Services. “Both seminars combined a detailed insight into the legal and commercial aspects of business sales and purchases as well as the key aspects of developing property.”

Savills’ Head of architecture for the south east, Ewan Stoddart and Andy Watson & Lee Scott of the planning team, reflected on the key planning considerations for feasibility of site development with a particular focus on planning permissions, due diligence and the importance of design in adding value.

Hamed concluded: “As registered CPD events, the seminars provide an excellent learning and networking opportunity for business owners, directors and professionals to further their awareness of the latest trends and commercial legal considerations.”

The seminars give business owners from a diverse sector-base the chance to connect with other like-minded professionals from across Sussex and the wider south east.
