Commercial Lawyer Sydney - NSW

As a commercial lawyer Sydney businesses rely on for clear guidance, we advise on the legal issues behind everyday operations and significant decisions — the agreements you enter, the way your business is owned, and where your risk sits. Our aim is to give you advice you can act on.

We prepare, review and negotiate commercial contracts and commercial agreements for NSW businesses across construction, property, trade and professional-services sectors, including supply and services agreements, consultancy and subcontract arrangements, procurement documents and project agreements. We also prepare tailored terms and conditions of trade dealing with payment, delivery, warranties, liability, defects, termination and dispute resolution.

Leasing creates long-term commitments for landlords and tenants alike. We draft, review and negotiate commercial, retail and industrial leases and lease assignments, and advise on options, rent reviews, make-good and default provisions. Retail leasing in New South Wales is regulated by the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW), which imposes disclosure and other requirements, and we advise on how those obligations apply before you commit.

We advise on company, trust, partnership and joint-venture structures and prepare the supporting documentation, with a focus on liability, governance and future growth. On a sale or acquisition of a business, we assist with sale and purchase agreements, due diligence, asset and share transfers, lease assignments, restraints of trade and settlement.

We prepare joint venture agreements, partnership agreements, shareholder agreements and unitholder agreements dealing with governance, decision-making, profit distribution, dispute resolution, exit rights and restraints, and we advise on partnership disputes and shareholder disputes when a business relationship breaks down.

We advise on loan agreements, guarantees and security deeds, and on registrations and searches under the Personal Property Securities Register, to ensure finance and security arrangements are properly documented and protected.
