Hello and welcome to this very special episode of Breaking Bread, after doing this podcast for the last 16 months we have developed friendships with a lot of the food & drink businesses in the area. We have decided to try and use our podcast to help those people in the industry by recording some special interviews. This is episode 1 of help for hospitality and is with corporate lawyer Michael Buckworth. Michael Buckworth, the managing director of Buckworths, has a huge breadth of experience advising startups and high growth companies in a range of sectors including technology, fin-tech, digital and hospitality. Named as “Corporate Lawyer of the Year” for the past four years, he spends much of his time advising clients on corporate and commercial strategy as well as dealing with other issues facing their businesses.
Michael read law at Merton College, Oxford University from where he graduated with an LLB (Hons) degree. He qualified and worked at the London offices of two top US law firms before setting up Buckworths in 2011.
Buckworths is the only firm in the market working exclusively with startups and high growth businesses. Its sister company, Buckworths Compliance provides tailored advice to startups and high growth businesses on compliance with GDPR and the wider data protection regime.
I speak to Michael about the help and grants being offered to businesses by the government and how to apply for them, and how best from a legal point of view do businesses deal with the current crisis.
