BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL LAW


We add value to your business. Whilst the law and business may be complex, we aim to be clear. We provide practical, jargon-free advice to help our clients succeed in their business goals.


Commercial law is at the core of the advisory services we provide to clients.


We advise boards of directors, management, and shareholders in issues arising from their day-to-day running of a corporation.

We advise on the establishment of business activity, provide advice and assist with the various regulatory bodies, negotiate and execute transactions, and provide ongoing commercial advice on legal issues related to activity in the Australian market.

We are pragmatic, spotting the potential difficulties which arise in your business activities. We save your time and money by dispersing your risk and redirecting your efforts towards more commercially viable endeavours whilst striving to accelerate bureaucratic processes.


If you require, we can recommend legal counsel, certified tax advisers, appraiser valuers, building consultants, and architects appropriate to your needs on the potential benefits and pitfalls involved with your proposed ventures.

Our Sydney business lawyers strive to build life-long professional relationships with our clients. We work every day for our clients to fully appreciate the quality of our legal services so that every client recommends us to others and returns to our firm for a variety of legal matters.


Most experienced business-owners recognise the added-value a competent business contracts lawyer provides as opposed to using a template contract found online or in an office-supply store software package. Good contract drafting and review from an experienced lawyer in advance could save you from extensive litigation costs later. In other words, it is by far worth the fees you pay a small business contracts lawyer to draft a contract when compared to the costs of litigating a dispute over a poorly drafted contract.


Written agreements are the most important part of business transactions. Cheap template or non-lawyer drafted agreements are not customised to fit your specific business needs and are often not updated to account for recent changes in the law, and generally fail to address all the necessary elements of the agreement. When contract disputes arise, no matter how accommodating the parties are at the time of contract, a poorly drafted contract can cost one or both parties substantial sums of money in legal fees, court & litigation costs, settlement payment or an unfavourable court judgment.


Our contract lawyers in Sydney have a clear understanding of how contractual terms and language may be interpreted, or potentially misinterpreted, to support one position or another. Our small business lawyers can draft, revise, review, customise and litigate your business contract. Don’t put yourself or your business at risk by entering into a contract without having your lawyer review it first.


BUSINESS STRUCTURES

We help you implement the right business plan for you to protect your current and future interests. We can help you decide if you should operate as a sole owner, partnership or as a Pty Ltd company. We take the time to understand your company and industry to ensure that your business operates smoothly.

COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS

As a company director, you have many duties. We make sure your business assets and commercial arrangements are documented correctly. This allows you to maintain solid professional relationships with all the key people connected to your business.You will have to form contracts with many companies and individuals in your business life. A trusted law firm can be an important asset to the growth of your business.

WORKING FOR YOUR COMPANY

We take the time to realise your commercial objectives, help manage your risk and ensure that any agreement you enter into complies with the Law. We draft in today’s plain English so that parties to the agreement are clear about their rights and duties.

We can negotiate an existing contract or draft a customised contract to help you build successful long-term relationships with your selected independent contractors, suppliers, and consultants to ensure your business’ smooth operation.

DRAFTING CONTRACTS

A well-drafted contract offers a transparent view of the goods or services to be provided and what is expected in return. They are a clear map for resolving any disputes in the business relationship that may occur and ensure that you fully comply with regulatory and legislative requirements.

Formalising those arrangements can seem unnecessary until things go wrong. At that point, it becomes a lot more expensive and time-consuming to fix. Getting the right agreement in writing from the start can save a lot of trouble later.

ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF

We act for clients in matters relating to commercial contract relationships, shareholder, joint venture and partnership agreements, the purchase and sale of assets, commercial leases, debtor and creditor relationships, asset ownership and use, agency and other agreements and real estate.

FAMILY BUSINESSES

Family businesses are the bread-and-butter of the Australian economy, representing over 70 percent of all businesses. A common goal of many family-owned businesses is to provide financial security for the next generation. Our lawyers have the resources, knowledge, and emotional intelligence to deal with these concerns.

LISTENING TO YOU

We listen to our client’s challenges and create effective solutions addressing those issues. We help individuals and families grow and protect their wealth by providing targeted legal advice. 


We listen to understand your business needs no matter what stage your business is at. Our Australian business lawyers offer strategic insight and clear guidance to protect your assets and assist you in achieving your business goals.


We strive to prevent and protect you from commercial legal risk in the day-to-day running of your business by drawing your attention to areas of a contract which may be adverse to your interest.

We help you understand the potential risks to you and your business. We will offer solutions to avoid or reduce such risks.

COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS

Whether you are wanting advice on your existing business or buying or starting a new business, our lawyers can help.
We want to help you consolidate and secure your key relationships. Successful relationships require communication and in business, this communication is a contract.

A well-drafted contract can protect your assets and interests.

We are experienced in reviewing contracts and can negotiate reasonable terms favourable to you. We can also draft agreements focused on promoting your interests.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF BUSINESS

Selling or buying a business without good legal advice can cost you more in the long-term. A poorly-structured deal can reduce your potential profit. If you’re purchasing an existing business we help you understand what you’re buying so that you do not unconsciously take on unseen risk.
Our legal team can help you navigate your transaction to avoid potential risks and pitfalls.
