Assertng your legal rights as an entrepreneur or creative in the small business SME Community 

Inviting entrepreneurs and creatives in the small business community to learn about asserting their legal rights, defending a case and dealing with/resolving legal disputes.

Concentrating on the issue of access to justice in the current legal market, Unity Legal Solutions is pleased to present its Autumn Conference with the support of The Genesis Initiative. Formed to create economic reform driven by SME’s and supported by Parliamentarians, Genesis recognises the importance of improving access to justice for the SME community.

For too many people, court proceedings to assert a legal right or defend a case are out of the question because of lack of funds or fear of the process. Unity seeks to overcome these difficulties particularly for the entrepreneur and SME market, with speakers covering some of the issues facing those with disputes and how Unity can help in resolving them.

The Conference will be chaired by Roger Billins, founder and managing director of Unity. Roger is a practising solicitor and consultant to two London firms of solicitors, author of two legal textbooks, and Chairman of the Trustees of Intermediaries for Communication.

Speakers include:

• Anthony Trace Q.C. Anthony has had a long history at the Bar, specialising in commercial litigation but now heads up the Unity mediation team. He is recognised as one of the country’s leading mediators.
• Neil Purslow is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of Therium Capital Management Limited, one of the country’s leading litigation funders. Therium is highly regarded in what is an increasingly competitive market.
• Dr Vanessa Brady OBE is the founder and CEO of the Society of British and International Interior Design (SBID). Awarded an OBE for services to interior design and the UK economy, she will address the challenges that entrepreneurs and creatives face when asserting legal rights to protect their interests in professional practice.
• Mark Watson-Gandy is a practicing barrister and educationalist specialising in Insolvency Law. He will be speaking on the difficulties faced by businesses as they emerge from Covid without government support and without the restrictions on insolvency procedures that have been in place.
