Efficient, Effective, Affordable Commercial Law Solutions That Help Protect Your Business And Maximise Your Success.

No matter what kind of commercial activity you are engaged in, you need a legal advisor that not only understands the law, but is committed to protecting your business and applying the law to your commercial advantage.

The business world is full of opportunities, but it is also loaded with risks. There is a constant need to identify business risks and minimise the chance of disputes occurring that might hinder your business. No matter the scale of your business or the size of your bottom line, you will inevitably face legal matters, disputes and decisions from time to time, and the actions you take can have significant effects on your business.

How can you be sure the decisions you make are right for you and your business?

Birch Partners' 25 years of commercial law experience gives you the benefit of sound advice tempered with real-world practicalities. With a proven record of delivering excellent results, and a commitment to achieving the best possible result for you, we will handcraft a legal strategy that will help you succeed in reaching your business goals.

Handling cases of any size and complexity, from one-off jobs to large ongoing projects, Birch Partners provide a solutions-driven service aimed at helping people establish and grow and protect their business. We provide guidance to our clients during initial business formation and continue as those businesses evolve over time. We’ve found that small business owners in particular appreciate our hands-on, one-on-one service, our accessibility and our willingness to take the time to answer all their questions in a timely manner.

We recognise that the first step towards effectively assisting you is to develop a deep understanding of your business and your industry, and to see things from your point of view. That's how we develop and understand the challenges you face and anticipate the risks you are likely to encounter.

We ascertain precisely what you want to achieve, identify any special factors which need to be handled carefully and confirm the timescales involved. With a focus on commercial solutions that protect you against risk and deliver you an optimal outcome, we will provide you with responsive, clear and strategic commercial law advice that can efficiently be used within your business.

Whether you are starting a new business, changing the shape of your business, or entering into new commercial alliances, Birch Partners will provide you with straightforward advice, commercially-sensible solutions, and advise you so that you secure the most advantageous terms.

Protecting Your Interests In Disputes And Commercial Litigation

Given enough time, the day-to-day operation of a business can often lead to disputes, which sometimes erupt into costly lawsuits. Whether another party has failed to fulfil their contractual obligations with regard to contracts, leases, employment, or other commercial issues, or has accused you of doing so, disputes draw your time and energy away from the focus of your business.

We understand how disruptive, distracting and worrisome court matters can be. The stakes are often very high, and the future of your business may be uncertain. Having never been through it before, most people have little or no knowledge of how litigation works and the unfamiliarity of the process can be quite daunting. Recognising this, Birch Partners is committed to helping you understand the process, and supporting you and your business through what can be a very difficult time.

Litigation is an unpleasant process that carries certain risks, but at the same time, commercial litigation may be the only way to protect your business interests and to help your business stay competitive.

Commercial litigation can be an effective tool in achieving a business goal, but is usually a costly endeavour. With this in mind, Birch Partners does not promote unnecessary commercial litigation. Taking a strategic and proactive approach to commercial litigation, the first action we will take is to determine if a resolution of the dispute is possible without litigation. Our goal is to help you achieve resolution as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, and in many cases, our ability to come up with innovative solutions allows us to resolve issues without resorting to litigation. In instances where a resolution cannot be reached and litigation becomes necessary or unavoidable, we will aggressively pursue your claim and vigorously defend your interests. 

Problems rarely just go away, and without an appropriate strategy, your business dispute will escalate. Contact us immediatelyif you have an issue, because timely advice can save you time and money.

We will promptly assess your matter and provide you with:

  • A clear statement of your rights and responsibilities
  • Your prospect of success
  • An estimate of costs

If you have a legal dispute or commercial litigation enquiry, Birch Partners is happy to discuss the matter with you on an obligation-free basis. Book your free consultation now or call us on 02 9585 8133

Protecting Your Business With Commercial Contracts And Agreements

Well drafted contracts are critical to the protection of any business. Our strength in litigation contributes greatly to our ability to draft your commercial contracts and agreements. We can draft agreements that make sure your legal rights are protected, along with vendor contracts, purchase agreements and sales agreements that protect your commercial interests.

Before you enter into any commercial contract with another company or individual, gain peace of mind by having Birch Partners review the agreement to ensure that it protects your interests and allows you to achieve your business objectives.

Protecting Your Interests Through Employee Transitions

Ensure that your confidential business information is protected when key employees move on by having Birch Partners draft employee non-disclosure and non-compete agreements that protect against use or disclosure of your proprietary information and trade secrets.

Protecting Your Interests in Commercial Property Transactions

In all aspects of commercial property including property development, leasing, purchasing and selling, Birch Partners will address the many related legal issues to ensure you are not only complying with the law, but also to ensure that your commercial property dealings go smoothly and don’t result in any unpleasant surprises further down the line.

Structuring And Expanding Your Business the Right Way

Strong businesses are built on strong foundations. If you are in the process of establishing a new business, Birch Partners will review your goals and help you determine the best way to structure and operate your business, draft partnership agreements, and help ensure that your personal assets are protected and that you are taking full advantage of applicable tax laws.

Birch Partners can advise and assist you with regard to the incorporation of entities and establishment of trusts, restructuring and estate planning, companies, partnerships, joint ventures, co-operatives, associations and family business structuring.

We represent businesses at every stage of development, from start-ups to established businesses looking to expand, acquire or be sold. If your business is established, and you are keen to take it to the next level, or branch out into other areas, we will advise you on the best approach to take.

If you want a lawyer who cares about the success of your business - not just the size of your account - and will proactively protect your interests and offer practical, commercially-minded solutions to your problems, Birch Partners is the right choice for you.
