Business Law and commercial law is the area of law dealing with business operations, structuring and commercial agreements.
Given that so many small businesses in Australia fail within their first 2 years of operation it is important to get the right advice from the outset.
Our formula for small business success is:
HELP ME + $ < FIX ME + $
Which means spending money on getting the right legal advice, documents and structures in place ("Help Me dollars") will nearly always be cheaper than going to court to sort out a mess of rights or obligations which can lead to trouble or disputes ("Fix Me dollars").
Commercial Law ranges from contract to corporate law, IP and director's duties and requires an understanding of how business operates in the IT driven Digital Age.
We provide a range of legal services to business and Small to Medium Enterpries (SMEs) and can assist if you are looking to start, buy or sell a business including franchises.
We have also been leading the way in advising our clients in relation to two of the most fundamental changes to hit the Australian business landscape in over 50 years:
- AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW (ACL)
- PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT (PPSA)
Please contact us now for an obligation free quote to have your terms and conditions reviewed and all other relevant contractual documentation including credit applications and guarantees in light of these reforms.
Unfortunately, it is human nature to take a 'wait and see' approach with some changes to legislation. Within the first 2 years of its introduction to New Zealand, many companies and businesses lost big time because they were ill equipped to deal with changes to the law. Don't let this happen to you!
Getting into business can be risky so contact us to see how we can take some of the stress and strain out of the dream of running your own business.
