Corporate commercial lawyers specialise in handling large-scale transactions you see reported in the news, and provide legal advice and assistance with business agreements, mergers and acquisitions.
Our corporate commercial lawyer Adelaide will also perform necessary housekeeping functions, including reviewing procurement contracts and interpreting any government policy regulations that might impact their corporation. Finally, they’ll prepare and file any required government reports.
Legal Advice
No matter if it is for starting up a business, merging or acquiring another one, or introducing a new product – corporate commercial lawyers offer guidance and legal advice regarding the optimal legal structure to adopt for the task at hand. They can assist with employee, tax and contract law issues to ensure you achieve success in whatever endeavor.
Copyright and trademark registration and protection are essential safeguards against theft of intellectual property. They can also work with your CPA to reduce tax burdens and review business contracts.
Commercial lawyers offer guidance in commercial transactions such as management buyouts or equity capital raising, joint ventures (two or more businesses combining resources to share profits and liabilities) as well as joint ventures.
Legal Review
Legal reviews offer an in-depth examination of legal documents to ensure they are accurate and comply with industry, brand and government regulations. Furthermore, contract reviews ensure the requirements set by both parties match up perfectly – helping eliminate potential legal complications while creating a foolproof agreement.
Lawyers can utilise lawyer review sites to improve their reputation and increase leads. Users of these review websites can rate their experiences working with specific law firms, which then affects the firm’s search engine ranking.
An effective legal review policy can help an organisation reduce legal risks and compliance issues, while providing resources to employees. Qualified corporate commercial lawyer Adelaide should also be involved, along with training. There are also specialist document review services which offer outsourcing of the eDiscovery process while cutting costs while improving quality; some use AI to speed up this process and can handle large volumes of data efficiently.
Legal Housekeeping
Legal departments frequently encounter difficulty striking a balance between value-generating activities and repetitive tasks, particularly if processes are manual.
YKC Law’s team of corporate commercial lawyers offers its clients assistance with an array of legal housekeeping issues. This includes creating, reviewing, and approving minutes, records, consents, resolutions for relevant transactions.
Protecting intellectual property such as patents and trademarks is also vital if your firm wishes to remain competitive and ensure future revenue streams. If someone is misusing your company’s intellectual property, we can quickly step in to help resolve it swiftly and efficiently.
Due Diligence
Due diligence refers to an investigation conducted prior to any sale. This may involve reviewing financial documents, IT infrastructure, internal controls and compliance procedures of any prospective company/entity being considered for purchase. Due diligence can be especially essential if there is a letter of intent involved as transactions can become contingent on receiving a full due diligence report from that party.
This includes reviewing any legal issues facing the company, such as contracts, noncompete clauses and past or pending litigation that might impact how or even whether any particular deal moves forward.
Hard and soft due diligence are two primary forms of due diligence. Hard due diligence involves studying numbers and data while soft due diligence involves gathering more personal insights about people involved. Businesses frequently conduct due diligence checks on companies they plan on partnering with or purchasing outright; you might have conducted your own due diligence checks when purchasing credit cards or homes – however a corporate commercial lawyer Adelaide can ensure you have all of the relevant data to make wise choices.
