Contracts
No two business arrangements are identical. The key to preparing or negotiating good
contracts is understanding the arrangement, identifying the risks and then deciding on a
combined commercial and legal strategy to manage those risks. Our principal lawyer has
worked in and managed listed companies and the subsidiaries of multinational
corporations. He knows from first hand experience the pressures faced by directors and
senior managers and brings a practical approach to preparing and negotiating contracts.
Buying or Selling a Business
If you are preparing to buy or sell a business, talk to Bambridge Lawyers first. We can
advise you on the right strategy and do all the hard work for you. Buying? We help buyers
complete their due diligence, prepare all of the documentation and ensure that they are
getting what they pay for. Selling? We help sellers get their affairs in order to maximise the
value of their business and minimise their risks and liabilities once the business has been
sold.
Business Structures
A business structure is the foundation on which your business is built. The right structure
helps you to protect your assets and grow your business. We can advise you on the pros
and cons of using associations, partnerships, corporations and trusts. Bambridge Lawyers
can help you set up or restructure any business and prepare agreements between key
persons (such as owners, partners, shareholders, directors and other stakeholders). We do
this to help business owners and directors protect their business and personal assets.
Trading Terms
Every business tries to stay on good terms with its customers and suppliers. But what
happens if there is a dispute? Are the terms on which you do business up to date? Do they
comply with the Competition and Consumer Act? Has your business minimised its liability
to its customers? We help clients take advantage of the new competition and consumer
laws and the new PPS register to protect their interests. We can also advise you on the
risks in contracts you are asked to sign so that you can make informed commercial
decisions.
Good Governance
Busy business people rarely have time to keep up to date with all the changes to the laws
and regulations that apply to doing business in Australia. Directors, managers, partners
and trustees all have specific legal duties and obligations. Bambridge Lawyers can help
your business to comply with all those rules and regulations. And if you do attract the
attention of ASIC or the ACCC, we can help you survive the investigation and deal with the
legal consequences.
Protecting Intellectual Property
We can help you with simple things like registering a trade mark or more complex matters
involving the use by a competitor of another businesses’ intellectual property. You can rely
on Bambridge Lawyers to give you just about any assistance you might need with
copyright, trade marks, patents, designs, trade secrets and confidential information.
People
A business is nothing without its people. We can help prepare contracts for directors,
managers, staff and consultants. If the relationship between a business and any of its
personnel deteriorates, we can help you take steps to protect the business.
Business Disputes
Disputes arise between businesses, partners, shareholders, directors and the community.
Bambridge Lawyers can advise you of your rights and obligations so that you know where
you stand before you enter into a legal fight. We always encourage alternative dispute
resolution to litigation but we stand ready to help our clients come what may.
