Where Does Your Business Stand Legally?

Every business journey is different, but these scenarios reflect many of the business legal matters we help resolve:

Eg: "We need ongoing legal support, but don't know where to start."

General Business Legal Guidance

Running a business involves constant legal decisions – from employment contracts to compliance requirements. We provide comprehensive commercial advice to help you navigate these challenges confidently, whether you’re a startup or established enterprise.

We can help with:

  • Business structure selection and company incorporation
  • Employment contracts, policies, and workplace compliance
  • Terms of trade and customer agreements
  • Regulatory compliance and industry requirements

We work as your trusted legal advisors, providing proactive guidance that protects your business while enabling growth and success.

Eg: "We're buying another business but need help with the legal complexities."

Buying, Selling & Business Deals

Business transactions require careful legal handling to protect your interests and ensure smooth completion. Whether you’re buying, selling, franchising, or entering into joint ventures, we guide you through every detail to secure the best possible outcome.

We handle:

  • Business sale and purchase agreements
  • Merger and acquisition advice
  • Franchise agreements and licensing arrangements
  • Joint venture and partnership structures
  • Commercial financing and investment agreements

We review all terms, identify potential risks, and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get the best deal while minimising legal exposure.

Eg: "We need to negotiate a commercial lease, but we don’t understand what the documents mean.”

Commercial Leases & Property Matters

Commercial property transactions and leasing arrangements can make or break your business. From securing the right premises to negotiating fair lease terms, we ensure your property arrangements support your business goals rather than constrain them.

Common property matters:

  • Commercial lease negotiation and review
  • Property purchase and sale transactions
  • Development agreements and subdivisions
  • Retail and office leasing disputes
  • Strata title and property management issues

For comprehensive commercial property support, we also offer specialist Commercial Property Law services covering complex property transactions and development matters.

Eg: "A supplier breached our contract, and we need to recover damages."

Resolving Business Conflicts

Business disputes can severely impact your operations and cash flow. When conflicts arise with customers, suppliers, partners, or employees, we provide strategic legal action to resolve matters efficiently while protecting your business interests.

We resolve:

  • Contract disputes and breach of agreement claims
  • Debt recovery and unpaid invoice matters
  • Employment disputes and workplace conflicts
  • Partnership and shareholder disagreements
  • Consumer complaints and regulatory investigations

For complex commercial disputes requiring litigation, our Commercial Litigation team specialises in court proceedings and dispute resolution strategies.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we regularly review and negotiate commercial leases for Penrith businesses. Commercial leases are complex documents with significant financial implications. We ensure you understand all terms, negotiate fair conditions, and protect your interests throughout the lease term.

While not legally required, proper legal setup from the start can save significant costs and complications later. We help you choose the right business structure, understand your obligations, and establish solid foundations for growth – often for less than the cost of fixing problems later.

We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific business needs. Many business matters can be handled on fixed-fee arrangements, giving you cost certainty. In the alternative, we offer competitive hourly rates. We always explain all costs upfront before you commit.

First, review the contract terms and document the breach. Often, a formal letter of demand can resolve the issue without court action. If that fails, we can advise on your options, including negotiation, mediation, or legal proceedings to recover losses and enforce your rights.

Companies offer limited liability protection and more professional credibility, but have greater compliance obligations. Sole traders are simpler to set up and operate, but offer no asset protection. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the most suitable structure for your goals and risk tolerance.

All employees should have written employment contracts that comply with Fair Work legislation and relevant awards. Even casual workers benefit from clear terms. Proper employment contracts protect both you and your employees by setting clear expectations and obligations.
