Employing people can be one of the most rewarding and profitable thing a business can do; we know, we’re growing too! Developing a great workplace and culture means having in place mechanisms which enable you to deal with the occasional bad egg, meet your work health and safety obligations, ensure employees understand the rules and their obligations.

Let’s start with your first employment contract and go from there!

One of our key goals is to make the law accessible to businesses. It’s ok to express anger and frustration when confronted by 50 pages of gobbledy gook. Our focus will be on debunking this and isolating the key issues/decision points in any legal document e.g. contract, terms and conditions, agreement etc.

Business disputes are a distraction. They are costly both in dollars and emotional energy.

Your dispute may relate to a contract, a shareholders/owners disagreement or the terms of a lease.  Our expert litigators will be focused on achieving a commercial outcome for your business from the get go.

Its OK to minimize your tax legally. We’ll help you to select the best business structure, ensure that you take advantage of relevant government assistance and set you up in your own superfund if appropriate.

But we’ll do this with your long-term commercial objectives in mind, no stop gaps or expedient decisions.

It is just a standard lease right? There’s no room to negotiate? Wrong! We regularly give our client’s leases the once over to ensure that key items such as future rental periods (options), make-goods and rental increases are dealt with properly.

Or if you’re just about to buy that factory or office building, we can advise you which entity to use to acquire it, review that loan agreement and set your investment up for success.
