Areas of Practice
Acquisitions & Disposals
Whether you’re buying or selling, we have experience with mergers, acquisitions and disposals of businesses, purchases and sale of real estate and all aspects of regulated, on market takeovers and schemes of arrangement.
Structuring & Asset Protection
The world we live in today is fraught with danger. If you or your business is not structured correctly, you open yourself up to risk and the danger of losing everything you have worked for. We are experts in structuring for personal and business risk and have innovative, tested solutions to protect your assets.
Residential & Commercial Property Law
We assist clients with all manner of real estate and leasing transactions. Whether you are buying or selling property, developing real estate or leasing in the residential or commercial space, we are keen to assist. We regularly assist clients with residential and commercial developments and provide a balanced approach to the commercial and legal advice required during these projects.
Intellectual Property
Ideas, tangible or not, are the most important things to protect in today’s competitive creative market. With so many channels and constantly replenishing feeds to watch out for, tracing the ownership and originality of a design, brand name, or invention needs the laser-focused eye of a trained legal professional. We’ll handle the search, application, and filing process of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. And if your idea has been infringed upon, our litigation team will negotiate the best possible licensing and settlement agreements.
Franchising
Whether you operate or wish to establish a franchise in health & fitness, in the medical or allied health sectors or in the hospitality industry, our team has the experience to make your dreams a reality. We have established franchises in the optometry industry, hair & beauty, skin care & laser clinics, retirement and hospitality. We don’t just buy and sell franchise businesses, we establish and grow them with you.
Digital Media & Technology
The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and monetisation; challenges that our firm stays two steps ahead of. We’ve helped engineers, inventors, gaming startups, and entrepreneurs develop, license, sell, and maintain ownership over their creations. We’ve also negotiated purchasing and partnership agreements for larger investment companies looking for their unicorn investment opportunity.
Structuring, Liability & Risk
Whether you run a theater, recording studio, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Our lawyers will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company or structure you operate under, and any associated risks. From there, we will tailor the right solution so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.
