The major services we offer include:

• Commercial advice on, and preparation of, business contracts such as terms of trade, supply agreements and equipment leasing.
• Employment law advice, which may include a review of current employment agreements (if any!), and advice when things happen or need to happen from an employee or employer perspective.
• Advising on and setting up an appropriate entity for the operation of a business. In providing this service, we will work closely with your accountant to ensure that the strategy we engage is a tax effective one. Through the structure, we would also aim to limit your personal liability by protecting your personal assets, ensure that any intellectual property owned by you or your business is protected, and plan for business succession.
• Preparation of agreements to guide how owners of a business relate to each other – for example, what if one owner wants to sell, but the other doesn’t? Or one owner doesn’t turn up for work for weeks at a time without notice?
• Business sales and purchases (including by way of share sale or purchase).
• Property advice, including property planning, purchases, sales and leasing.
• Intellectual property advice and protection strategies. For example, do you need a trademark?  Is someone using a name or logo very similar to yours and you want them to stop?
• Tax and stamp duty advice.
• Advice in relation to the Personal Property Security Register, including how to properly obtain security from any party to whom you provide credit.
• General contract advice for all contracts and agreements that you may have to deal with.
