Whether you are starting out as an SME business, growing for profit, or growing for sale or merger, legal support can be priceless in areas such as:
- Contract review and risk assessment
- Regulatory support for company directors
- Company transactions, including share transactions, change of company directors
- Lending business support, whether from external investors or direct financial support. The integration of loan documents and share dilution such as preference shares can give a company the necessary injection of fuel to enable growth to be maintained and targets reached.
- Employment Advice for business owners. From employment contracts, policies and procedures, to representation at the Workplace Relations Commission for unfair dismissals, payment of wages or other direct conflicts such as workplace injury claims
- Support at investigation stage pre-disciplinary hearings
- Within a company a shareholders agreement is a vital tool to help reduce the blunt effect of company law in allowing individuals manage and control how a company will operate
- If not incorporated, business advice for sole traders or partnerships is recommended at all levels
