How Can Our Business Transaction Lawyers Help?

When selling a business, there are a number of things that you need to consider to ensure that the sale goes through smoothly. Our lawyers can guide and advise you through the process from start to finish.



Whether you're in Sydney, Wollongong or anywhere in the Illawarra, we can work with you and your accountant to sort out potential legal issues and get your business ready for sale, reducing the likelihood of negotiations ceasing due to these issues being identified after a prospective buyer is found.


This can include:


  • Advising on the terms of your business broker’s agreement
  • Preparing non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements to protect your confidential information
  • Advising on any existing contracts that might be in jeopardy as a result of a sale
  • Managing legal due diligence
  • Preparing and negotiating the sale agreement
  • Negotiating the assignment of the lease of your business premises
  • Advising on employees and transfer of employment.
