• any type of business contract or commercial agreement, including confidentiality agreements and shareholders agreements,
• structuring your company or group of companies and/or unit trusts,
• buying and selling businesses and assets,
• negotiating a business deal,
• raising money for your business (capital raising),
• company registration for a new company,
• company constitutions,
• joint venture arrangements and business partnerships,
• listing your company on a stock exchange (IPO),
• share option plans,
• franchising, including the Franchising Code of Conduct for both franchisors and franchisees under a franchise agreement,
• corporate insolvency (administration, receivership and liquidation),
• corporate governance, company directors duties and compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), and
• dealing with regulators such as ASIC (the Australian Securities and Investments Commission), the ACCC (the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) and FIRB (the Foreign Investment Review Board).
