How can a business lawyer assist you?
- A business lawyer can analyse any proposed contract you plan on entering and provide you with advice as to whether certain terms need to be amended or excluded prior to you signing up.
- A business lawyer can provide advice about how best to structure your purchasing entity: whether that be in a partnership agreement, a proprietary limited company or a trust. By obtaining this advice at the outset, it will provide you with the best structure tax-wise and protection from third parties who may come to sue you.
- A business lawyer can provide assistance in determining whether any assets you are buying are listed on the Personal Property Securities Register (''PPSR''). The last thing you want is for your business to acquire assets only to realise after the fact that another company has a registered interest in certain goods. For more information, refer to our article on the PPSR.
- A business lawyer, should be able to provide you with pragmatic commercial advice rather than just legal advice.
- From the outset, you can establish a business relationship with an experienced business lawyer who can journey with you in the long term and assist with business or legal issues, as may be needed.
