Commercial Law

Operating a business in Victoria requires more than ambition and strategy. It requires legally sound foundations. Seeking commercial legal advice early is not just protective; it is a strategic advantage that can prevent costly disputes, regulatory penalties, and unnecessary financial exposure.

We provide clear, practical advice to business owners, directors, shareholders and entrepreneurs across all stages of the business lifecycle. Whether you are starting a new venture, entering into commercial agreements, purchasing or selling a business, or facing a contractual dispute, we ensure your rights are protected and your risk is properly managed.

We assist with:

• Commercial contract drafting and review
• Business sale and purchase agreements
• Shareholder and partnership agreements
• Service and supply agreements
• Terms and conditions (including ACL compliance)
• Risk allocation and limitation of liability
• Debt recovery and contract disputes

Our focus is proactive protection. We identify risks before they become litigation problems and ensure your agreements properly allocate liability, reflect commercial realities, and comply with current legislative requirements — including Unfair Contract Terms (UCT) reforms.

Where possible, we aim to resolve disputes efficiently and commercially through:

• Negotiation
• Mediation
• Without prejudice settlement discussions
• Strategic correspondence

However, should litigation become necessary, you will be fully advised at every stage. We ensure you understand your position, exposure, and options so you can make informed commercial decisions.

Running a business already carries enough uncertainty. Your contracts and legal structures should not be part of that risk.

Let us help you build a legally secure foundation so you can focus on growth with confidence.
