Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

Challenge – You hired someone without a proper employment contract, and now they’re making claims.

Our Solution: We draft comprehensive employment contracts that clearly define duties, termination procedures, and confidentiality obligations. When disputes arise, we provide representation in Fair Work matters, helping resolve unfair dismissal and workplace claims with minimal business disruption.

Challenge – Your business partnership is breaking down, and you need to separate, but you have no agreement.

Our Solution: This is why we strongly recommend shareholder agreements from day one. When partnerships dissolve without formal agreements, we guide you through negotiated settlements, asset division, and legal separation processes that protect your business interests.

Challenge: A competitor is using your brand name. Can you stop them?

Our Solution: If your trade mark is registered, we can take legal action against trademark infringement. If unregistered, your options are more limited, which is why trademark registration is critical. We handle opposition proceedings and enforce your intellectual property rights through cease and desist letters or court proceedings when necessary.

Challenge – You’re signing your first major commercial contract and don’t understand the terms?

Our Solution: Our contract lawyers provide contract review services with plain-language explanations of legal terms, liability clauses, termination rights, and risk factors. We negotiate amendments to protect your position and ensure the agreement supports your business goals rather than exposing you to unnecessary legal risks.

Challenge: Your business is growing, do you need to change from a sole trader to a company?

Our Solution: We analyse your liability exposure, tax position, and growth plans to recommend the right business structure. If restructuring makes sense, we handle the company formation and transition process, ensuring legal compliance every step of the way.

Challenge – You need to terminate an employee, but don’t want an unfair dismissal claim?

Our Solution: We guide you through compliant termination procedures under Fair Work laws, including documentation requirements, notice periods, and redundancy considerations. Proper process significantly reduces the risk of claims.
