Business Services

We help small to medium sized enterprises and high net worth individuals deal with the range of issues and challenges they face when transacting business. Most of the clients we work with are involved in transactions with a value up to $50 million. We advise them on:

• business formation
• vehicles to carry on business (such as companies, trusts, partnerships, joint venture arrangements)
• business structuring
• shareholder agreements
• changes in ownership
• property
• disputes

Many of our clients are innovative business owners for whom we act as general counsel providing day to day operational advice. We know our clients, their businesses, their objectives and their risk appetite. This knowledge enables us to provide fast and accurate advice on various issues including:

• licensing and franchising arrangements
• trade marks and intellectual property
• property and leasing
• service and employment agreements
• manufacturing, supply and distribution agreements
• funding arrangements
• trade practices, including competition and consumer protection
