Services
Our firm offers a full range of commercial law advice and can help your business grow and take advantage of new opportunities. Our solicitors can advise on such matters as:
- Choosing a business structure – When launching a new business, you may consider operating as a sole trader, working in a partnership or incorporating a new company. Stacks Collins Thompson can assist in accommodating existing trust and self-managed superannuation fund arrangements, while helping you consider the long-term taxation implications of any business structure. We can also offer advice on modifying existing business structures (to become more efficient) or to accommodate a growing ownership (for example, by issuing shares or securing property through charges).
- Agreements – Whether drawing up the sale or purchase of a business or developing relationships through joint-venture and distribution agreements, our firm can offer simple and direct advice on your legal position. We also appreciate that complex matters may require very particular drafting and will always ensure that your interests are protected in negotiating contractual terms.
- Finance and investments – Your business may also be in a position to invest or grow through taking on a business loan. Stacks Collins Thompson can assist you in drafting any necessary agreements to support a credit facility (such as drafting directors' guarantees) or to take on new capital.
- Turnaround – If your business is in trouble or needs to get a handle on a difficult situation, we can assist by advising you on your legal obligations to your creditors. Stacks Collins Thompson can also assist businesses undergoing restructuring by working with receivers, bank appointed managers or administrators to get the best result for you.
- Disputes – Our firm can also assist in commercial litigation.
