Corporate and commercial transactions

Commercial & Corporate Legal Advice

Our law firm has experience in dealing with partnership disputes and shareholder disputes and matters relating to the rights of franchisors and franchisees. We are also familiar with employment contracts, unfair dismissals, unfair termination of employment contracts and all other general commercial law matters.

Our law firm has more than 30 years of experience in acting for clients on the sale and purchase of businesses in Sydney and throughout Australia. Business acquisitions are frought with risk as there is no title deed which can prove title in property transactions. Title to business acquisitions is effectively solicitor guaranteed and not state guaranteed.

We can offer advice on how to ensure title of a business and the transfer of all goodwill. There are significant searches and enquiries and investigations that will be carried out in order to protect the interests of our purchaser clients on the purchase of a business. Similarly, we are able to provide and draft effective contracts for sale of business and to bring the sale to completion. Our lawyers are familiar with restraint of trade provisions in contracts for sale of businesses along with matters pertaining to GST, long service leave and other employee statutory entitlements.

Related matters pertaining to commercial leases and retail leases are always taken into account. We have had lots of experience in arranging for statutory release of liability for vendors of businesses in order that there be no continuing liability for rent after settlement has taken place. We are also well versed in all other areas of commercial law.
