Our commercial lawyers help you establish, run, buy, sell and protect your business. Our skillset reaches across your business structure, your commercial contracts, your leasing arrangements, your corporate governance documents, and what is required when you sell or purchase. We advise businesses from our offices in Newcastle, from local operators to clients across NSW and nationally.
Getting the legal foundations right early is far less costly than unwinding a problem later. We give you commercial advice, not just legal answers.
Why business owners choose Mullane Lindsay
Our business and commercial work is led by Lachlan Page, supported by a wider commercial team. We act for sole traders, companies, trusts and other family businesses, and we keep a commercial perspective throughout, because the best legal outcome is not always the best commercial one. We tell you the difference.
How should you structure your business?
The right structure depends on your goals, your risk and your tax position. The common options are a sole trader, a partnership, a company, or a trust, and many businesses use a combination. Each affects your personal liability, your tax, and how readily you can bring in partners or sell later. We work through the legal considerations with you, and partner with your accountant on the tax outcomes.
