Buying or selling a business is a significant transaction that requires careful legal planning and execution.

Our team provides end-to-end support in business sales and acquisitions, assisting with the preparation and negotiation of contracts, conducting thorough due diligence, managing the transfer of assets and leases, and ensuring all regulatory obligations are met.

We work closely with your accountant or financial advisor to structure the deal in a way that meets your commercial objectives while minimising risk.

Leasing arrangements are a critical part of many commercial operations, and we assist both landlords and tenants in negotiating and documenting lease agreements that reflect their needs and obligations.

With a detailed understanding of the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic), we advise on lease preparation, renewals, assignments, variations, and terminations.

Our goal is to ensure your leasing arrangement is clear, enforceable, and aligned with your long-term business interests.

Contracts form the backbone of any business relationship, and we are committed to ensuring your agreements are legally sound and commercially viable.

Whether you're entering into a supply agreement, partnership, or other commercial arrangement, we review, draft and negotiate contracts tailored to your specific needs.

Our focus is on reducing uncertainty, protecting your rights, and clearly defining the obligations of all parties involved.

The right business structure is critical to protecting your assets and ensuring operational efficiency.

We help clients determine the most appropriate legal structure. Whether a sole trader, partnership, trust, or company - based on their business goals, risk profile, and tax considerations.

Our advice also covers strategies for asset protection and succession planning, working closely with your accountant or financial advisor to implement a structure that supports long-term growth and financial security.

Your intellectual property is one of your most valuable business assets.

We assist clients in protecting their brand, content, and ideas through trademark registration, IP licensing, and confidentiality agreements.

Whether you're launching a new product, partnering with a third party, or looking to secure your business know-how, we ensure your intellectual property is legally protected and that your commercial advantage is preserved.

Running a company in compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) is essential for avoiding legal pitfalls and maintaining good standing with regulators.

We advise clients on all aspects of corporate governance, including company incorporation, director and shareholder obligations, ASIC reporting requirements, and the preparation of company constitutions and shareholders’ agreements.
