How Our Corporate Lawyers Work With You

Corporate legal work should support the transaction rather than unnecessarily complicate it.

We begin by understanding what you are trying to achieve before identifying the legal structure, documentation and negotiations required.

1. Understand the Commercial Objective

We discuss the transaction, ownership arrangement or business issue and identify the commercial outcome you want to achieve.This helps us understand not only what documentation may be required, but why the arrangement is being entered into.

2. Identify Legal and Transaction Risks

We review the relevant company documents, contracts, ownership structure and proposed transaction terms.Where appropriate, we identify issues involving governance, shareholder rights, liabilities, approvals, contractual obligations or other risks that should be addressed before proceeding.

3. Draft, Review & Negotiate

Our lawyers prepare or review the agreements and corporate documentation required to implement the transaction.Where another party is involved, we can also assist with negotiations and revisions to the transaction documents.

4. Complete the Transaction

Once terms have been agreed, we assist with execution, corporate approvals, completion documents and the legal steps required to implement the arrangement.

What to prepare

What Should I Prepare Before Speaking to a Corporate Lawyer?

You do not need to have every document ready before contacting us. However, providing the key business information early can help your lawyer understand the proposed arrangement more efficiently.

Where relevant, prepare:

  • ACRA company information and current ownership structure

  • Existing constitution and shareholders’ agreement

  • Current cap table or list of shareholders

  • Term sheet, offer or proposed transaction terms

  • Existing investment or loan documents

  • Draft agreements received from another party

  • Relevant correspondence between shareholders, investors or counterparties

  • A short explanation of the commercial outcome you want to achieve
