We understand, and know that running a business is often demanding and stressful.

We can help cut through these demands by providing you corporate and commercial advice on the legislative requirements for running and managing your business, interacting with consumers and shareholders, in addition to providing the following services:

Contractual Law
With our commercial nous and experience we understand the key issues across the variety of commercial transactions. We can review, draft, advise on and negotiate various agreements on your behalf. These agreements may include heads of agreements, shareholders agreements, supply, manufacturing and distribution agreements, service agreements, licencing agreements, confidentiality agreements and agreements relating to the registration of property on the Personal Properties Register.

Undertaking a Merger or a Joint Venture
If you are considering expanding your business through a merger, or considering undertaking a joint venture with another company or business, we can assist by undertaking and advising on due diligence and preparing and negotiating the documentation required for the transaction.

Corporate Governance
Being a director of a company can be onerous. We can provide advice on corporate governance issues, guidance on directors and officers duties and how to handle conflict of interest situations. We can also advise on and draft Deeds of Indemnity for directors and other officers of the company.

Shareholders
We can provide shareholders with advice in relation to their holdings in the company, their rights under the Constitution of the Company, the shareholders agreement and the Corporations Act. We can also draft shareholders agreements in accordance with the objectives of the shareholders.

Intellectual Property
Your intellectual property is an asset that adds value to your business. We can help you protect this intellectual property by advising on and lodging trade mark applications for registration, drafting and advising on licence agreements, assignments, restraint agreements and confidentiality agreements.

Consumer Law
Even if you do not interact with consumers you are a consumer. We can provide advice on consumer legislation, including consumer rights and guarantees.

Retail and Commercial Leases
We can review, draft and negotiate retail and commercial leases and follow the transaction through to registration.

Employee and Consultancy Matters
We can not only provide advice and review and draft employee and consultancy agreements, employee share and option schemes and restraints, we can draft job descriptions and policies and procedures for your company or business.

Trusts
If you are considering raising funds for a charitable purpose, we can advise on appropriate trust structures depending upon the fund chosen and register the charity and lodge the application to obtain deductible gift recipient status with the Australian Taxation Office.
