What Does a Business Lawyer Do & Do You Need One? VIC

Legal missteps can create significant issues for any business. A business lawyer can help avoid this as well as assisting in various other ways, from drafting effective contracts to offering tailored advice when legal issues arise.

Legal advice helps you to make informed decisions about tax, employment, investments, commercial leases, contracts, shareholders agreements and more. Below, Melbourne Law Studio looks at some of the ways a business lawyer could help you and your business.

Business Structure Advice

Choosing the right structure for your business is essential and the benefits of separating your business legally can be numerous. A commercial lawyer can advise you on the best structure for your business, considering legal liabilities, tax benefits and more.

Contract Drafting and Shareholders Agreement

Commercial lawyers can help draft important legal documents such as a shareholders agreement, employment contracts, privacy policies, cease and desist letters and more. Professional legal assistance is essential for contract drafting to ensure the contract is enforceable and appropriately covers the necessary scope.

Ensure Compliance

To help them stay compliant to regulatory standards, businesses employ commercial lawyers. Commercial lawyers are required to maintain their knowledge of the latest legislation and changes in law in order to provide up-to-date advice and guidance for how legislation may affect your business and its obligations. This might include advice on legal standards for anything from operating a business to employee safety, compensation and/or environmental impact.

Protect Your Business Legally

Commercial lawyers also help businesses protect their assets and property. For example, intellectual property such as logos, domain names, trademarks and registered designs.

Commercial Lease Lawyer: Advice

As a business, rent is one of the biggest costs. A commercial lease lawyer can advise you on whether your lease is fair based on things like comparable properties, demand and your history as a tenant. Your lawyer can even negotiate for better lease terms on your behalf.

Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution

A dispute resolution lawyer can help mediate and deal with a range of business-related disputes including disputes between business partners, shareholders and between different businesses. If necessary, a business lawyer can also assist with commercial litigation.

Going through a separation was one of the toughest experiences, but Melbourne Law Studio made it feel manageable. Even though it could get emotionally overwhelming, I could see a light at the end of the tunnel. Ines was patient, listened to all my concerns, and treated me with respect and kindness. She has a really easy demeanour about her and I felt like her and the team had my back every step of the way. I can’t thank MSL enough for their support.

After my separation, a friend suggested I reach out to Ines at MLS. From the start, she was not only professional but also genuinely supportive and open about the process, costs, and the likely outcomes. Her approach was in line with my goal of reaching a fair and amicable resolution. I’m really grateful for her kindness and attention to detail. Thank you‍

From the first call I felt like I was in the right hands with Melbourne Law Studio. They were friendly and made me feel heard. Ines and her team went above and beyond to make sure I understood all my options and helped develop a strategy to get the best result in what was a really messy parenting dispute. Their personal approach and genuine care made me feel like I was always welcome to call them and see what was happening or what was next, the waiting sometimes for the other side was hard so I’m truly grateful for that.
