No two commercial transactions or dispute are identical. Every one requires the application of judgement and a depth of commercial and legal experience. This is particularly so where cross-border considerations and complications are relevant. At Burke & Associates Lawyers, we deliver Australian expertise, global experience and trusted partnerships.
We understand the importance of having advisors who can assist you in making important business decisions as well as navigating complex commercial dealings and negotiations. We’re committed to achieving positive legal solutions with and for you, your business and your family in a straightforward, creative and cost-effective manner, globally.
Our lawyers are experienced in advising small to medium sized enterprises, entrepreneurs and professionals in commercial and personal transactions and disputes across borders whether they are Australians or Australian businesses with a base or 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 70 years of practice, 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, business structuring and governance, to defend or commence a dispute, our lawyers can assist you.
