Services

Businesses are built on relationships.
We see our practice the same way.

Business is at the heart of the local community. If we help your business, the community will grow and in turn, boost your business even more.

What is business and commercial law?

Business and commercial law covers the legalities that are part of setting up and managing a business.

How we can help your business

If you’re running a business, some common areas you might need help with are:

Business structure

We can advise you what business structure to choose and help you set it up the right way from the get-go. We’ll also work in with your accountant to ensure you have a tax efficient outcome.

Business transactions – purchasing or selling an existing business

If you have a business transaction of some kind, chances are you have a range of questions to consider. We’ll be on board throughout the process to help you decide whether it’s a straight sale or whether we do a share transfer. We’ll also work with your accountant to help with the stamp duty and GST implications.

Employment

If you have employees we can help you with contracts, bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace, industrial action, unfair dismissal, or anything to do with to your employer obligations.

Contracts and agreements

We can review documents and check any employment contracts or service agreements are drafted correctly. We’ll ensure you have the right disclaimers in your written contracts to ensure your customer knows what you ARE doing and what you’re NOT doing, to limit your exposure to claims.
