Pine Lawyers has solid experience in sales and acquisitions for both small and large Australian businesses.
We’ve worked on various sales and acquisition cases with dozens of clients. Led by Principal Lawyer Andrew Pine, our legal team has assisted many Australian businesses from various industries.
We therefore know the importance of doing due diligence so the terms are fair for all parties. This can include everything from appropriate legal documentation, reviewing previous financial statements, business premise lease agreements and identifying evidence that the business will be profitable over the long term.
For small business acquisitions, we can help you navigate a variety of challenges including the seller’s right to the business name, the remaining time on the lease, and the landlord’s position on the acquisition.
For larger business acquisitions, we can help you solve complicated ownership arrangements, intellectual property disputes, and employment issues.
Pine Lawyers offers services related to the following areas:
- Handling of sensitive intellectual property issues.
- Employee issues such as transfers and leave benefits.
- Tax laws and issues relating to sales and acquisitions of small-to-large businesses.
- Organising the transfer lease of the business venue.
- Transfer of business permits from the previous owner to the new one.
- Sales and acquisitions across a wide range of industries, including retail stores, fitness centres, and real estate, to name a few.
- Franchise selling and acquisition.
- Selling and purchasing of e-commerce businesses.
- Negotiations with the seller.
- Drafting pertinent business sale contracts and heads of agreements.
Business sales and acquisitions involve many complexities and potential issues. Pine Lawyers seeks to build a long-term relationship with our clients and help them with not only the initial transaction, but their ongoing business objectives.
