How Can Our Business Purchase Lawyers in Sydney Help?

Business transactions can be intricate to manage without professional help, with even minor oversights potentially leading to significant consequences. That’s why having an experienced lawyer by your side is important to ensure every detail is carefully managed.

For starters, buying a business often involves reviewing and analysing extensive legal documents to ensure you fully understand what you’re acquiring. From reviewing confidentiality agreements to conducting due diligence on contracts and liabilities, it’s a meticulous process that demands attention to detail and commercial law expertise. Additionally, ensuring the smooth transfer of business premises, including the assignment or renegotiation of leases, can be a critical step that, if mishandled, could disrupt your operations.


These are just some of the areas we can help you with to ensure your purchase is well-structured and your interests are fully protected.


Our 'buying a business' lawyers in Sydney will work with you throughout the business purchase process, from negotiations to post-completion, or we can jump in at any step of the way as you need. This can include:


  • Advising on non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements
  • Undertaking legal due diligence and document reviews
  • Structuring advice and company registration
  • Preparing or negotiating the sale agreement
  • Securing restraints for the sellers and their key people
  • Advising on the business premises and assignment of the lease
  • Employees and transfer of employment
  • Negotiating franchise documentation
  • Preparing and negotiating shareholder agreements.
