No two pieces of advice, commercial transactions or disputes are identical. Each and every one requires the application of judgement and depth of commercial and legal experience. This is particularly so where cross-border considerations and complications are relevant. At Burke Lawyers, we deliver Australian expertise, international experience and trusted global partnerships.

We understand the importance of having advisors who can assist you in making important business decisions as well as navigating complex commercial advice, dealings, negotiations and disputes. We’re committed to achieving positive legal solutions with and for you and your business in a straightforward, efficient and effective manner.

Our lawyers are experienced in advising small to medium sized enterprises, entrepreneurs and professionals in commercial, business and personal transactions and disputes whether they are Australian based looking to enter a contract with a party in another jurisdiction,
Australian based with assets abroad, US businesses looking to enter the Australian market or US or UK corporations pursuing a debt, judgment or other dispute in Australia.

We have acted for thousands of businesses, business owners and professionals all over the world in our over 70 years of service, assisting side-by-side in their business and personal challenges and opportunities.

Whether you are looking to sell, develop, grow, improve, merge or purchase a business, to negotiate a commercial deal or contract, to develop a commercial relationship, to licence intellectual property, for advice on your start up or in governance, to defend or to commence a dispute, our lawyers can assist you.
