It depends on your goals, risk profile, and growth plans. Companies often suit scalable businesses and investor participation. Trusts can assist with asset protection and distribution flexibility. Partnerships and JVs can work for defined projects. I assess control, liability, tax, and exit needs, then recommend and implement a structure that fits.
Yes. A constitution or ABN registration doesn’t set out how owners make decisions, resolve disputes, or exit. A shareholders’ or partnership agreement covers voting, funding, profit distributions, restraints, valuation on exit, and deadlock procedures reducing the risk of costly disputes.
Yes. I map your current structure, identify pain points (ownership, IP, governance, tax triggers), and propose staged changes such as moving IP to a holding entity, updating governance, or revising ownership. I coordinate timing with your accountant to manage tax and regulatory impacts.
We can limit warranty scope, set reasonable claim thresholds and caps, define survival periods, and clarify disclosure standards. Tight asset lists, exclusion schedules, and well‑drafted restraints also reduce dispute risk. I’ll structure the agreement to balance buyer comfort with your need for a clean exit.
You’ll need clarity on valuation, share classes, pre‑emption rights, board composition, information rights, and vesting or performance milestones. I update the constitution, draft a subscription/shareholders’ agreement, and ensure investor terms don’t compromise future funding or control.
Typically a company constitution (or update), shareholders’ agreement, director/secretary appointments, trust deeds (if used), IP assignments, and any JV or contractor agreements. I prepare and lodge the required ASIC documents and set up your governance records.
Yes. Fixed‑scope options for structure advice, core documentation (constitution, shareholders’ agreement, trust deed), or full implementation and governance set‑up. You’ll know inclusions, timelines, and pricing upfront.
