Recession – Are you being positive?

Director Nick Parry shares his thoughts.

Keeping morale high through hard times like these can be something of a balancing act.

On the one hand, it helps no one to act so blasé as to pretend the recession isn't happening – yet, where is the sense in rubbing your fellow workers noses in it? By motivating yourself and your colleagues to only approach the subject with meaningful solutions and tactical resolutions, you will see productivity thrive. Maintaining a positive attitude within the business will create a positive future.

In the past year or so we've seen many of clients go from strength to strength, recession or no recession, and part of this success comes from adhering tothis set of principles.

It would seem that you can't put a price on positivity.

Partner focus – Waterfront Solicitors LLP

Founded in 2002, Waterfront Solicitors LLP was established on the basis that good quality, commercially-focused legal advice should not be a privilege restricted to global businesses with large budgets. Significantly, Waterfront has always recruited solicitors who have significant previous experience in the IT industry. Waterfront’s solicitors have trained and excelled in world-class City law firms and FTSE 100 companies.

Priding itself on its accessibility and pragmatic approach to the provision of legal services, Waterfront is always happy to have initial face to face meetings for no charge or obligation and discuss any issues relating to Information Technology, intellectual property, corporate, commercial, outsourcing, procurement and employment law. The in-house and industry expertise of its solicitors allows Waterfront to hit the ground running with all the work it undertakes, quickly and accurately pinpointing solutions to the issues that arise for you and your business.

In addition to Branch benefiting from the services of Waterfront, clients have also utilised their services. The most recent project was to help an organisation minimise the legal risks of selling technology solutions to global organisations in the financial services, media and manufacturing sectors and central and local government.
