Strategic business legal advice from contracts to corporate structure.
At Monardo Legal, we specialise in providing commercially astute legal advice throughout the lifecycle of your business. We focus on taking the time to understand your business and your broader commercial objectives, because we know that legal issues and solutions must be evaluated with an understanding of their commercial implications.
We can assist whether you are: planning or establishing a new business, growing your business, experiencing periods of financial stress, exiting your business, or coming up with a succession plan.
Our commercial law services include:
Business Purchases and Sales: We guide you through due diligence, contract negotiation, and settlement of business acquisitions and sales. We ensure your interests are protected throughout the transaction.
Business Structures: We advise on the most appropriate structure for your business, whether that be a sole trader, partnership, company, trust, or combination of structures. We consider asset protection, tax implications, and your long-term business goals.
Corporate Governance and Compliance: We help you maintain proper corporate records, comply with ASIC requirements, and implement good governance practices. This includes shareholders agreements, directors duties, and company constitutions.
Commercial Contracts: We draft, review, and negotiate all types of commercial agreements including supply agreements, distribution agreements, service agreements, licensing agreements, and terms and conditions.
Franchising: We advise both franchisors and franchisees on franchise agreements, disclosure requirements, and dispute resolution. We help you understand your rights and obligations under the Franchising Code of Conduct.
Our approach is practical and commercial. We provide advice that helps you achieve your business objectives while managing legal risks effectively.
