Clean documents, practical guidance and a commercially realistic perspective.
Advice on the sale and purchase of businesses Australia-wide, from early transaction planning and due diligence through to negotiation, documentation and completion. This may include heads of agreement, asset or share sale agreements, disclosure, warranties, restraints and post-completion obligations.
Drafting, review and negotiation of commercial agreements, shareholder arrangements and other documents governing business relationships. Advice focuses on how the agreement will operate in practice, including rights, obligations, risk allocation, decision-making and exit arrangements.
Preparation of contracts for real estate vendors, contract reviews for purchasers, and advice on commercial and retail leasing. This includes explaining key obligations, risks, conditions and practical consequences before documents are signed or the transaction proceeds.
Advice and documentation for private lending, mortgages, guarantees and secured transactions, independent solicitor’s certificates and reverse mortgage advice. The focus is on ensuring the structure, obligations, enforcement risks and consequences are clearly understood before documents are signed.
Wills, powers of attorney and estate planning for individuals and business owners. Advice considers how personal wishes, asset ownership, business interests and succession arrangements interact, so the documents reflect the client’s circumstances as a whole rather than being treated in isolation.
Advice for business owners considering ownership succession, continuity, control and the future treatment of key assets. This may include reviewing structures, identifying risks, preparing for exits or transfers, and documenting arrangements between owners, family members or third parties.
Project-based and ongoing legal advisory arrangements for business owners, privately held businesses and individuals seeking advice on a specific decision, transaction or legal risk. This may include strategic reviews, transaction planning, second opinions, and focused contract or document reviews.
Legal advice informed by more than 15 years working across business sales and acquisitions, commercial arrangements, lending transactions, ownership and succession matters.
Each issue is considered in light of the surrounding circumstances, with attention to what it means for you, the practical risks and the consequences of proceeding. Advice is focused on the issues that matter and the steps required to move forward.
Make an enquiry about the transaction, legal risk or course of action you are considering.
