Being an entrepreneur means getting your head around a lot of complex stuff. Our commercial team offers expert advice on the best structure, governance and compliance for your business situation, so you’re set up to win.

Our in-depth knowledge of business acquisitions or divestments, private capital raisings or joint ventures and restructures/investments means we understand how to get the best commercial outcomes while minimising risks.

Property can be a ruthless game so it’s important to be prepared. We work with property owners, managers, consultants and contractors across a range of services, including property acquisition and disposition, contracts of sale and contract reviews, pre-settlement occupation, and advice on easements, subdivision, and concessions and benefits. We can also help you out with lease reviews. Prepared? Tick.

Hiring new staff? We make sure both parties are legally protected through tailored employee agreements and contracts. We also offer advice on employment dismissal negotiations (for when things are a little shaky) and employee share schemes (for when things are looking up!).

Running a business is not always smooth sailing and sometimes you need to manage risk or protect your assets. If your business needs a dispute resolved or help with defending litigation, or even proactive advice on how to collect a debt, our dispute resolution team is available to assist.

Setting up a franchise is a big and exciting decision. We help you grow your brand and protect your rights, through specialist advice from people who have walked the franchise walk.

Setting up an effective business structure gives you efficiency and confidence in your governance and operations. We offer the right advice and legal agreements to lock it all in.

Creating a brilliant brand helps your business stand out from the crowd. Protecting it is essential! We make sure your intellectual property rights are in place and help tackle nasty infringements, should someone try to muscle in on your creative genius.
