Business Structures & Start-ups
Starting or restructuring a business? We advise on the right legal structure (sole trader, partnership, company or discretionary trust) and set it up properly from day one. That means constitutions and trustee arrangements that actually reflect how the business works, shareholder or unitholders agreements that address what happens when things change, and an eye on tax efficiency and asset protection from the start. We also advise on restructures as businesses grow, bring on new partners, or prepare for a sale.
