Our commercial lawyers specialise in court litigation. We deal with conflicts in business and will initially attempt to settle commercial disputes by agreement failing which we will not hesitate to issue legal proceedings in a court of law. We do not allow these matters to drag on and prefer to let a judge decide any contentious issues in early course. If you need urgent advice on a potentially litigious matter just call us on our helpline for instant free advice from a specialist company/commercial solicitor with absolutely no further obligation.

The business arena is a difficult and demanding discipline for Australian company law solicitors and many specialist commercial lawyers are not interested in dealing with anything other than multi-national corporations. Our company law solicitors deal with small and medium sized business from start up ventures to long established family firms and their legal charges are fair and reasonable.

Our business lawyers are well versed in the problems and difficulties facing local businesses and they are able to assist in all commercial aspects ranging from initial registration of a limited company together with business leases and property acquisition, right through to raising finance and venture capital and the public offering of shares on the stock exchange. The areas of law that our Australian company law solicitors deal with, but are not restricted to include :-

• initial formation of bespoke limited companies
• purchase and transformation of ‘off the shelf’ companies
• advise on, and setting up offshore companies
• settling up partnerships and limited liability partnerships
• liaising with accountants on tax planning matters
• amendment of articles, memorandum, shareholders and directors
• transfer, disposal and acquisition of shares and assets
• raising capital and venture capital
• arranging loans for purchase of property and equipment
• vetting leases for vehicles, equipment, plant and machinery
• listing on the stock market and offers for the sale of shares
• negotiating commercial contracts and agreements
• advising on transfer of undertakings & deeds of release
• advising on employment law including dismissal and redundancy
• legal representation in employment disputes
• restructuring finances, financial arrangements & funding agreements
• bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership and company liquidation
• planning permission for initial use or changes in use of land
• obtaining business licences from statutory authorities

Our company law solicitors work in a sensitive area where confidentiallity is an essential element of the job. A small indiscretion on our part can have a catastrophic effect on a successful business. As a result we take confidentiality, privacy and data protection very seriously indeed. All of our data is well protected. We store no information on the website servers, the sole purpose of which is to instantly transmit form information to our offices where it is kept on password protected hard drives which are backed up to a secure offsite location at least every 24 hours. So far as website administration is concerned we operate a paperless office and do not take hard copies. What paperwork we receive is transferred to electronic media and the original documentation is shredded. We do not transfer personal information to anyone except those specifically dealing with your enquiry and we delete all of our records about you and your case when we have completed our work. The only record of your activities will be that kept by your company law solicitor who will normally keep client files for a number of years until the relevant limitation period has expired.

Our specialist business and commercial lawyers are located across Australia. You will be given clear, unequivocal advice and if after talking to one of our company law solicitors you wish to proceed no further you will be under no obligation to do so and you will not be charged anything for our initial advice.
