Commercial Law

Our Commercial Law Team focuses on delivering pragmatic, cost effective outcomes in connection with all commercial matters and transactions. Our Partners not only have significant expertise developed over many years of legal practice, but apply “commercial nous” having regard to the circumstances of each case to achieve the best possible result for our clients.

Our aim at all times is to “value add” to our commercial clients.

Our services include:

• Acting in Business Purchases and Business Sales.

• Advising on and implementing the appropriate Business Structure including Partnership, Joint Venture, Company and Trust (whether Discretionary Trust, Unit Trust or Hybrid Trust).

• Taking instructions for and drafting all types of Commercial Agreements, including the “common” and the “not so common”.

• Advising on and implementing appropriate “Business Succession” strategies, including the preparation of Shareholders Agreements and “Buy/Sell Agreements”.

• Advising on and implementing appropriate “Asset Protection” strategies.

• Commercial Leasing, including Lease preparation for landlords, and reviewing and advising on Leases for tenants.

• Trade Marks, including registration and dealing with infringement claims.

• Liquor Licensing, including transfers.

• Dispute Resolution in connection with all types of business related disputes (including “partnership break-ups”) with a view to avoiding costly and protracted litigation.

• Franchising (see sub-section).

• Corporate Services (see sub-section).

We work diligently for and on behalf of our commercial clients in order to foster their trust and confidence, thereby creating the foundation for a long term, mutually rewarding relationship.
