Business Law

Businesses that have their documentation in order are better protected. It’s as simple as that. DIY usually works until there is a problem, and problems in business can have huge consequences. At The Law Shop we provide expert legal advice for all business matters. This includes terms of trade, employment agreements, leases, buy and sell agreements and business finance.

When purchasing an existing business, it is important to get legal advice and make sure you have followed due diligence.  This is going to be your livelihood, so you need to know exactly what you are getting into.

We can also advice you on what type of business structure best suits your situation as you can choose to operate as a sole trader, as a company or in a partnership. Each option offers varying degrees of control and responsibility. We can help you understand the implications of each of them, and work with your accountant to advise the best option for your needs.

If you are a business owner, landlord or investor, or if you’re looking at buying or starting a new business, have a chat to us to find out if you have thought of everything on the legal side. In most cases, we can quickly asses what your business needs to protect it. Business law often changes, and we can help you deal with all the complexities, so you can get on with managing your business – 0800 LAW SHOP – team@thelawshop.co.nz.
