Most SME’s (and individuals) will be involved in a legal transaction at one stage or another. We have extensive experience in reviewing, negotiating and drafting agreements relating to:

• lease agreements;
• sale of business agreements;
• Franchising;
• shareholders agreements;
• Service level agreements;
• Non disclosure and confidentiality agreements;
• Guarantees;
• Restraint of trade agreements.

No business is safe from the effects of bad debt, bankruptcy and insolvency issues. Debt collection and settlement negotiations form part of our core business. Not every demand for payment has the same effect. Our office has the experience to advise the correct option for the debtor and the creditor in such a situation.

Buying or selling a business is daunting. That often goes with franchising and leasing requirements. Queensland does not have an act that governs the franchising industry, and the Franchising Code serves as guidelines for the obligations of the franchisor. Failure to follow these guidelines or disclosures may have serious consequences for the transaction.
