Commercial Lawyers in Melbourne

We help you understand and comply with legal obligations and that your documents are tailored and clear to all parties.

The best dispute is the one that doesn’t happen, and the easiest way to do that is to have clear, plain English contracts that everybody understands.

When you’re given a 100-page contract that you can’t make head or tail of, or you’ve landed the kind of career-making Really Big Deal client, we can work through it and make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re about to sign.

Whether you’re completely risk averse, or operating in a heavily regulated industry that limits what you can do, we work with you to understand your business, and what makes you tick.

HOW WE CAN HELP

We help you understand the legal and regulatory landscape

We’re based in Melbourne, but we work with SMEs across a range of industries, all around Australia.

Sometimes we catastrophise for you, and work back from the worst case scenario so you can understand the kind of risks that might eventuate. We can review an agreement before you sign it, and work with you to identify and negotiate any unfavourable or unlawful terms. If you’re cooking up a great idea but aren’t sure whether it’s workable, or how to make it work, we can help you understand the legal and regulatory landscape, and give you a path through the woods.

We can help you with:

  • Preparing contracts, service agreements and T&Cs
  • Contract reviews
  • Contract negotiation with you, or on your behalf
  • Retail and commercial leases
  • Licence agreements
  • Advice and strategy
  • Business sales and purchases
  • Shareholder and unitholder agreements
  • Dispute resolution (and avoiding litigation)
