Our Practice Areas

R&AK Law Firm Ltd provides non-reserved, non-contentious legal services and does not undertake work that must be carried out by solicitors or firms regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Will Writing (Non-contentious)

Planning what happens to your assets is one of the most important steps you can take for your family.

R&AK Law Firm Ltd assists you with non-contentious will writing, helping you create clear, legally robust documents that reflect your wishes and reduce the risk of disputes later.

Our approach is to explain your options in plain English, highlight practical risks, and ensure your will is properly signed and executed so it can be relied on when it matters.

How We Can Help:

  • Prepare a new will tailored to your circumstances.
  • Update an existing will after marriage, separation, birth of children, or change in assets.
  • Appoint executors, guardians for children and set out specific gifts and legacies.
  • Consider how your will interacts with jointly owned property and beneficiary designations.
  • Put in place basic letters of wishes to guide your executors.

Social Housing Support

Issues with your home can quickly become stressful, particularly where your landlord is a local authority or housing association.

We provide non-contentious assistance in social housing matters, helping tenants understand their rights and engage effectively with their landlord.

Where necessary, we help you set out your position clearly and constructively, so that concerns are more likely to be taken seriously and resolved at an early stage.

How We Can Help:

  • Reviewing correspondence from councils and housing associations.
  • Assisting you to make or respond to housing-related complaints.
  • Advising on issues such as disrepair, overcrowding, and suitability of accommodation.
  • Helping you prepare supporting documents when asking for a transfer or re-housing.
  • Guiding you through internal complaints and escalation processes.

Welfare Benefits Assistance

Navigating the UK welfare benefits system can feel overwhelming – especially when decisions are unclear or your circumstances are complex.

We provide guidance and document-based support to help you understand your entitlement and present your case clearly to the relevant authority.

Our focus is on clarity, accuracy, and ensuring that your situation is properly set out in writing to the decision-maker.

How We Can Help:

  • Reviewing decision letters and explaining what they mean.
  • Helping you gather and organise evidence about your circumstances.
  • Preparing written representations in support of mandatory reconsiderations.
  • Checking forms and supporting documents for completeness and clarity.
  • Helping you understand the rules that may apply to your specific claim.

Employment Disputes (Advisory & Non-contentious)

Workplace problems can escalate quickly if not handled carefully. We provide non-contentious employment law support, focusing on early advice and practical solutions.

Our aim is to help both individuals and businesses make informed decisions, manage risk, and, where possible, resolve issues before they become formal litigation.

How We Can Help:

  • Help employees understand their rights around grievance, disciplinary and capability procedures.
  • Help employers review contracts, policies and procedures for fairness and clarity.
  • Prepare or review settlement agreements (from an advisory, non-contentious perspective).
  • Draft or review without-prejudice correspondence aimed at resolving disputes.
  • Clarify options around discrimination, harassment, redundancy or unpaid wages.

Consumer Rights

From faulty goods to unfair terms, consumer issues can result in unnecessary expense and frustration.

We help individuals and small businesses understand their consumer rights and set out their position clearly to traders, suppliers or service providers.

We focus on practical steps that give you a realistic route towards a solution, rather than abstract legal theory.

How We Can Help:

  • Reviewing contracts, invoices, and terms & conditions before or after purchase.
  • Advising you on your rights to refunds, repairs or replacements under UK law.
  • Drafting clear, firm complaint letters and follow-up correspondence.
  • Assisting with escalation to ombudsman schemes or alternative dispute resolution.
  • Helping small businesses respond to consumer complaints in a fair and compliant way.

Tenancy Agreements & Lease Reviews

Whether you are a tenant or a landlord, a written tenancy or lease carries important legal and financial obligations.

We offer review and drafting services for residential and certain commercial tenancy agreements and leases, on a non-contentious basis.

Our aim is to ensure you understand what you are signing, where the risks lie, and how to protect your position as far as possible.

How We Can Help:

  • Review proposed tenancy agreements or leases before you sign.
  • Highlight key clauses on rent, service charges, repairs, renewals and termination.
  • Flag any unusual or high-risk terms and suggest alternatives.
  • Draft or amend straightforward tenancy agreements and licence to occupy arrangements.
  • Prepare side letters or memoranda to record agreed variations.

Non-contentious Debt Recovery

Unpaid invoices can cause cash-flow problems for individuals and small businesses. Litigation is not always the first or best option.

We provide non-contentious debt recovery support, focused on clear communication and structured escalation.

Our approach is firm but professional, aiming to preserve commercial relationships where possible while making your position unambiguous.

How We Can Help:

  • Reviewing contracts, invoices and correspondence relating to the debt.
  • Drafting letters before action and follow-up chasers that comply with pre-action expectations.
  • Advising on payment plans, settlement proposals and negotiation tactics.
  • Helping you keep an organised paper trail if you decide to pursue formal proceedings.
  • Assisting with responses where a debt has been raised against you and you dispute it.

Commercial Contract Drafting

Clear contracts are essential to successful business relationships. We help startups, SMEs and growing businesses put their arrangements on a sound footing.

Through practical, non-contentious commercial contract drafting, we focus on contracts that are understandable, balanced and aligned with your commercial objectives, not just "legalese" for its own sake.

How We Can Help:

  • Drafting and reviewing service agreements and consultancy contracts.
  • Terms of business and standard conditions for the sale of goods or services.
  • NDAs, MOUs and heads of terms for commercial discussions.
  • Supplier, distribution, and collaboration agreements (non-regulated sectors).
  • Updating existing templates to reflect current practice and reduce ambiguity.

Corporate Advisory (Non-contentious)

For founders and business owners, having access to clear corporate advice can make decision-making easier and reduce future risk.

We provide non-contentious corporate advisory services to companies and entrepreneurs at various stages of growth.

We work alongside your accountants and other advisers where required, so that legal, commercial and tax considerations are aligned.

How We Can Help:

  • Choosing and structuring appropriate company, partnership or joint-venture arrangements.
  • Reviewing shareholder agreements, founders’ agreements and basic investment documentation.
  • Drafting or reviewing board resolutions and corporate governance documentation.
  • Assisting with documentation for share transfers, allotments and basic buy-backs.
  • Providing general guidance on directors’ roles, duties and decision-making processes.
