Getting your business started
Whether you are starting your own business, purchasing an existing one or buying a franchise, early on is the ideal time to speak to a business lawyer. Getting the foundations right from the outset means your business is compliant with regulations and that you are well prepared for any future challenges.
The best way to avoid future legal problems is to ensure you have well-drafted agreements and contracts, as well as good strategies in place to protect your business. We can assist you with legal advice on the many facets of business law.
Running your business
Many challenges can arise in the day-to-day running of your business. These can have a detrimental impact on operations. Stacks business lawyers can provide specialist business legal advice across the gamut of commercial operational areas to help minimise potential problems.
Our business lawyers will work with you to resolve operational matters and disputes, as well as providing advice on business regulation, business structuring, documentation of commercial transactions, workplace and employment matters, property matters and everything in between.
Protecting your business
Protecting your business and minimising risk is best managed by ensuring you have the optimum structures in place. Securing your business and intellectual assets, as well as ensuring you understand and are compliant with all of the regulations that affect your business, are key to protecting yourself and your commercial enterprise.
Our business lawyers will work with you to identify potential risks to your business and ensure you have the appropriate legal structures in place to protect your assets, including financial assets and intellectual property.
Growing your business
Once you have your business up and running successfully, you may decide the time is right to expand and start making changes to grow your enterprise. Before committing to a growth strategy, you should consider the legal ramifications associated with running a larger business, as well as ensuring you have the correct structures in place to give you the best chance of success.
There are many ways to expand your business. Our business lawyers have the commercial knowledge and experience to provide you with advice regarding your legal and financial obligations. We can help you structure your business in a way that best secures its financial future while minimising risks and allows you to accomplish your growth strategy.
Business challenges
Challenges often arise when you least expect them. If they are not managed appropriately or in a timely manner, they can have a detrimental impact on productivity, profitability and staff morale. Our commercial lawyers will work with you to manage business disputes and challenges as efficiently as possible, minimising disruption to your business where possible to ensure operations and productivity can be maintained.
Our business lawyers can assist in all areas of business disputes and litigation, as well as helping to navigate financial problems you may encounter in the course of running your business.
Exiting your business
Planning for your business’s future is as important as running its day-to-day operations. Making a succession plan safeguards your business and ensures it can be transitioned and placed into the right hands should something unexpected happen.
Agreeing upon the plan with business partners and stakeholders is essential to prevent future disputes which could impact the business and its ongoing viability. It could also negatively impact your financial position upon leaving the business, or your plans to pass the business on to the next generation of your family.
The business lawyers at Stacks can provide advice and assistance to ensure that you have plans for all contingencies, to protect the future success and operations of your business.
Stacks business health check
We provide businesses with a thorough business health check and legal audit to ensure compliance with all legal regulations and requirements. This process is designed to diagnose, treat and avoid potential legal problems for you and your business.
The costs of conducting a business health check and legal audit are insignificant compared to the potential costs of litigation, or contravening government regulations. If you have not had a business health check conducted recently, speak to a business lawyer from Stacks about performing a full assessment of the legal health of your business and prescribing any remedies that may be required.
Industry specialists
Navigating industry-specific regulations and legal requirements can be daunting and confusing. Stacks Law Firm has specialist business lawyers in a wide range of fields and industries, including food and hospitality, construction and trades, charities and social enterprises, professional services, property development, retail, manufacturing, agribusiness and aviation.
Our business lawyers can work with you and your company to ensure compliance with your industry’s regulations and help you to minimise legal risks, as well as acting for you if you should be involved in legal proceedings.
