Commercial Contract Preparation
A well-drafted commercial contract sets clear expectations and reduces the risk of disputes down the track, while a poorly drafted one can expose a business to unnecessary liability. Our commercial contract lawyers assist clients to draft new agreements, review contracts before signing, and negotiate more favourable terms across supplier arrangements, service agreements, and partnership agreements. If your agreement relates to leased business premises, our commercial lease lawyer, Luke Barnett, can advise on the terms specific to that arrangement.

Business Sale and Purchase Agreements
Buying or selling a business involves more than a single contract. Due diligence, asset and liability apportionment, employee entitlements, and settlement conditions all need careful attention to avoid disputes after completion. As a business acquisition lawyer and business sale lawyer, we help clients prepare and negotiate sale contracts that clearly reflect what has been agreed, and manage the legal steps involved in transferring a business to its new owner.
