Tees welcomes contacts to Chelmsford office expansion opening
Tees, a leading provider of legal and financial services, has recently invested in its future growth with the redevelopment and expansion of its Chelmsford office at Parkview House. The newly refurbished space now offers state-of-the-art facilities and increased capacity to enhance client experience and support growing demand for legal and financial services across Essex.
On Thursday 25 June, Tees colleagues welcomed contacts to a launch event for drinks and canapés to see the newly expanded space. The evening was an opportunity to bring together professional contacts and friends of the firm to celebrate the milestone and explore the new facilities. Colleagues from across Tees’ legal and financial services teams spent time speaking with guests about the issues affecting local businesses, families and communities, sharing insights and discussing future opportunities. The event reflected the collaborative nature of the firm, and the strong relationships Tees has built across Essex over many years.

Legacy lease structures could put retailers at risk, says leading accountants Price Bailey
The legal dispute between London’s Brent Cross shopping centre and John Lewis, could lead to increased rental fees for retailers, says leading accountancy firm Price Bailey. The case is centred around the conditions of ‘turnover rent’, where retailers pay a base rent to landlords, alongside an additional amount linked to their in-store performance.
Historically, click-and-collect transactions were exempt from this calculation, but this is now being disputed. Accountancy firm Price Bailey notes that, should proceedings rule in favour of incorporating click and collect orders into turnover rent calculations, retail businesses may face increasing financial pressure if they have not factored this increase into their costs.
