Business Law

When buying or selling a business, it is important to be aware that no two businesses are the same or the transaction process identical.

When leasing commercial/industrial property, whether as the landlord or the tenant, you must remember that one size does not fit all and each lease needs to be prepared, taking into account the specific attributes of that property or deal.

Advising on small business issues requires the ability to cut straight to the heart of the issue rather than getting lost along the way or merely quoting the law.

• How does the structure in which you operate your business affect personal liability, taxation liability and disposal issues?
• Does the Retail Leases Act affect you and if so in what way and how do you avoid the many traps for young players?
• Why does it pay to think through how your business is set up before launching into business?
