Business
Being in business has risks and rewards — we'll help you jump at the opportunities while mitigating the risks. We're business owners too, so we face the same issues you do.
Being in business is all risk and reward, and the legal side is about grabbing the opportunities while covering the downside. We help with the things that decide how well that goes — buying or selling, the contracts you trade on, who owns what, and the structure underneath it all.
We run businesses ourselves, so we ask the questions you might not think to and flag the traps before they cost you. Whether it’s robust terms of trade so you actually get paid, a shareholders’ agreement for the rainy day, or a lease that won’t bite you in three years, we handle it end to end.
We work with owners and operators across the Wellington region, and we’re glad to work alongside your accountant so the legal and financial sides line up.
How we help with business.
Buying & selling businesses
We know the questions to ask and the traps to avoid. Get in touch and we'll take care of it.
Customer & supplier contracts
Robust Terms of Trade so you get paid and manage your exposure — and supplier contracts that protect your margin.
Shareholding management
Shareholder agreements and constitutions, so everyone knows the playbook for the rainy day.
Structuring
The right structure for flexibility, tax efficiency and protection — documentation and advice handled end to end.
Leases & premises
Your biggest cost after people. We customise the standard lease for make-good, rent reviews and the clauses you don't know to ask about.
