At Wollens, we recognise that organisations operating in the wellbeing sector face a unique blend of commercial, regulatory and practical challenges. Whether you run a gym, yoga or pilates studio, wellness retreat, counselling practice, or offer holistic therapies such as massage, acupuncture or nutrition coaching, we provide legal support tailored to your profession and your business model.
Our team advises on all aspects of business setup and structuring, from incorporations and partnership arrangements through to the sale, acquisition or restructuring of an existing practice. We work closely with you to ensure your agreements are robust and your legal foundations are strong—protecting your business and setting you up for long-term success.
We understand the regulatory demands that come with working in a professional wellbeing environment. Our lawyers can help you stay compliant with sector-specific rules and obligations, whether that involves data protection for client records, health and safety responsibilities, insurance requirements, or advertising standards relevant to health-related claims.
We also offer comprehensive employment law advice, supporting you with staff and associate contracts, HR policies, and day-to-day issues such as grievances, performance management or dismissals. Where needed, we help resolve disputes—whether between business partners, with staff, or in relation to clients—offering pragmatic, commercially-focused guidance.
Property matters are another area where many wellbeing providers seek support. From reviewing and negotiating leases on treatment rooms, studios, or clinics, to advising on licences for shared premises, our commercial property team ensures your occupation arrangements are appropriate and future-proofed.
In addition, we can assist with broader commercial matters such as drafting terms and conditions, advising on supplier contracts, navigating funding arrangements, and protecting your intellectual property—particularly important if you’ve developed original course content, online materials or a distinctive brand.
At Wollens, we combine deep sector knowledge with clear, practical legal advice. We help wellbeing professionals across the South West and beyond to protect what they’ve built, plan for growth, and stay focused on what matters most: delivering excellent care and services to their clients.
