WELCOME TO THE ACUMEN BUSINESS CONVENTION
The ACUMEN BUSINESS CONVENTION is a one of the largest business conferences outside of the capital.
With approximately 300 decision-makers, dazzling live entertainment, an extraordinary line-up of talks, Speakers Arena featuring local business heroes TEDx style, a sit- down lunch and ample networking opportunities.
All spiced up with Acumen magic and surprises.
Supporting a different local charity every year, this is a not-for-profit business event which is a staple of the Sussex business community, held every year since 2010.
Throughout the years, hundreds of meaningful connections have been made within the community. There isn’t a convention that goes by without tens of contacts mentioning how they met their best client or supplier at the event and where many new collaborations started.
Buying or selling a property?
Our commercial property solicitors will get under the skin of your business in order to give you the best legal advice, on leases of offices, retail or warehouse space or on the freehold.
Employment issues?
We favour speedy and cost-effective solutions, freeing up your time and finances to pursue your core business.
“We have used Acumen Business Law several times, not once have they failed to deliver the right result. Highly recommended.”

After 7 years of litigation, the ruling is clear. Deliveroo riders cannot be recognised as employees with five judges claiming the contracts between riders and the company did not constitute an “employment relationship” because riders were able to use another person to cover their deliveries without Deliveroo’s involvement plus riders are free to reject offers of work, to make themselves unavailable and to undertake work for competitors.
Which, as many of us know, isn’t a regular employee and employer relationship
