Did you know that "common law marriage" is a myth? Despite this, over 3.5 million people cohabit and potentially leave themselves in a vulnerable position once a relationship ends.

Change might be on the horizon as the Government has launched a new consultation paper, "A fairer end to relationships” which seeks to address some of these issues.

In this latest article, Adam Palmer provides a breakdown of what the reforms are and what they could mean for you.

Sports Direct has opened a new 31,000 sq ft store in Kingston-upon-Thames, marking a further step in its expansion strategy and investment in physical retail: https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/new-sports-direct-store-opens-33725169

This reflects a wider trend of retailers moving towards larger, experience-led stores, combining multiple brands and services under one roof.

Growth of this kind brings a range of practical and legal considerations, from securing suitable premises to ensuring the right commercial and operational structures are in place.

Colman Coyle supports clients with all aspects of commercial property and business expansion, helping ensure transactions are structured efficiently and risks are managed from the outset.

Businesses are increasingly turning to mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve disputes more efficiently: https://www.thetimes.com/business/companies-markets/article/british-businesses-embracing-dispute-resolution-r5s5jr7gj

Rather than defaulting to litigation, many organisations are recognising the benefits of structured negotiation to achieve practical, commercially focused outcomes.

This shift highlights the value of approaching disputes with a clear strategy from the outset, ensuring time and resources are used effectively while protecting wider business interests.

At Colman Coyle, our Dispute Resolution team supports clients in navigating disputes and identifying the most appropriate route to resolution: https://colmancoyle.com/expertise/dispute-resolution/?utm_source=social+post&utm_medium=clicks&utm_campaign=colman+coyle+dispute+resolution&utm_id=colman+coyle+dispute+resolution
