We work closely with you and the other parties involved to minimise current and future risk and to maximise a beneficial outcome for you.
Our lawyers have the experience, skill, and expertise in contracts, agreements and deeds to ensure you are properly protected and advised, whilst understanding (and, where appropriate, preserving) the relationships and reputations involved.
Whether it is a contract, agreement or deed, the terms can be tricky. The underlying law not mentioned in the agreement can be tricky.
It is critical that you obtain appropriately qualified legal advice on the terms of any agreement (whether in writing, verbal or implied by law) to ensure they are accurate, well-understood, and the best they can be for your interests.
Our lawyers advise in plain language so that you can comprehensively evaluate the pros and cons of the proposed agreement and relationship, as well as comprehensively consider alternatives and improvements.
Our team is highly experienced in drafting all kinds of contracts across Australia and internationally so that your interests are maximised and protected but your liability, costs and time are limited. Our contracts are standard in ways and where they need to be, and tailored in ways and where they need to be. We ensure that your contract captures and communicates between the parties what is intended, minimising the chance of a dispute down the track.
We are highly skilled and trained in negotiating contracts and their terms, to ensure the best result is achieved for you. We protect your interests, reach sound and beneficial commercial outcomes, and preserve relationships and reputation between the parties where required.
We act for clients all over Australia and internationally who are entering contracts with other parties based in Australia and internationally in contracts in business, commercial transactions, commercial relationships, intellectual property, finance, building and construction, and estate related matters.
Principal lawyer and head of our Commercial & Dispute Resolution Division, Meghan Warren, is admitted to practice as an Australian legal practitioner and as an Attorney-at-Law to the New York State Bar in the United States.
