Protect
Your brand is one of your business’s most valuable assets. It carries your reputation, distinguishes you in the market and can become increasingly valuable as your business grows.
Protecting your brand requires more than registering a business name. We help you identify and protect the intellectual property that matters to your business, develop the right strategy around it and manage issues as they arise — from trade mark registration and licensing through to oppositions and infringement.
Your Protect Kit includes:
- A consultation to understand your brand, business and intellectual property priorities;
- Development of an intellectual property strategy aligned with your business and ownership structure;
- Trade mark searches, due diligence, strategic advice and registration;
- Intellectual property licensing arrangements, where required; and
- Advice on trade mark oppositions, infringement and enforcement, and other intellectual property issues affecting your brand.

Close the Deal
The right agreements do more than document a transaction. They create clarity around how you do business — setting expectations, allocating risk and protecting the commercial terms, relationships and intellectual property that matter.
We start by understanding how your business operates, who you deal with and what you need your agreements to achieve. From there, we identify the right contractual framework and build the documentation around your business — rather than fitting your business into a template. We will listen to what you need and work with you to draft, review and finalise your business transactional documents, including:
- Customer contracts;
- Supply Contracts;
- Service Agreements;
- Distribution and Manufacturing Agreements; and
- Non-Disclosure Agreements

Pay Day
Getting paid starts long before an invoice becomes overdue. Strong payment terms, effective credit practices and early intervention can make a significant difference to cash flow and reduce the risk of debt write-offs.
We help you get the fundamentals right before payment becomes a problem — protecting your position, reducing the risk of bad debts and giving you practical strategies to act early. When recovery is necessary, we focus on getting you paid in a way that makes commercial sense.
Your Pay Day Kit focuses on two priorities:
Protecting your position
We help put the right terms, protections and practices in place from the outset by:
- ensuring your payment terms are clear, effective and enforceable;
- advising on how best to secure amounts owing to you, including registration on the Personal Property Securities Register; and
- providing practical training and strategies for early intervention when payment terms are not met
Securing payment
When payment becomes an issue, we take a commercially considered approach to recovery by:
- establishing a practical and streamlined recovery process;
- issuing letters of demand on your behalf; and
- advising and assisting with enforcement and recovery of outstanding amounts

Own It
Buying or selling a business is a significant commercial transaction. Getting the structure, risk allocation and documentation right requires experience, sound judgement and a clear understanding of what you are seeking to achieve.
We advise on complex asset and share sales and acquisitions, including equity transactions involving specialist businesses. Every transaction is different, so we start with the commercial objective and build the legal strategy, process and documentation around it.
From structuring and due diligence through negotiation, documentation and completion, we manage the legal process with a focus on protecting your position, maintaining commercial momentum and achieving the right outcome. We work constructively with all parties and their advisers to move transactions forward efficiently and with clarity.
Your Transaction Kit can include:
- strategic advice on the proposed transaction and transaction structure;
- legal and property due diligence;
- negotiation and preparation of acquisition and sale agreements;
- service agreements and related transaction documents;
- advice on commercial and retail leasing;
- advice on securities and associated arrangements; and
- shareholder and unitholder agreements governing the ongoing relationship between business owners
Fee arrangements, including fixed fees and staged payments, can be structured around the transaction and its complexity.

Estate Roadmap
Estate planning is easy to leave for another time. But for business owners, protecting what you have built requires considered planning across your personal affairs, business interests and asset-holding structures.
We take the time to understand what matters to you — the people you want to protect, the assets and interests you have built, and how you want them managed and passed on. From there, we create an estate plan considered in the context of your broader circumstances, not simply a set of template documents.
Your estate plan is prepared by an experienced lawyer and tailored to you. Technology may make documents easier to generate, but understanding the people, businesses, structures and intentions behind them requires human judgement. That is where we add significant value.
.
Your Roadmap Kit can include:
- Wills (with or without Testamentary Trusts);
- Enduring Financial Powers of Attorney;
- Corporate Powers of Attorney;
- Medical Treatment Decision Maker documents; and
- Deeds of Wishes.
