Business & Corporate Law
Skylar Legal assists business owners, investors and entrepreneurs with practical legal advice for business transactions, commercial arrangements and day-to-day business matters.
We understand that business decisions often involve both legal and commercial considerations. Whether you are buying or selling a business, entering into a contract, restructuring business arrangements or dealing with a shareholder or company matter, we aim to provide clear advice and practical solutions.
Business Sales and Purchases
We assist purchasers and vendors with business sale and purchase transactions, including reviewing, drafting and negotiating business sale contracts.
Our work may include advice on business assets, stock, employees, leases, licences, restraints of trade, warranties, deposits, adjustments, settlement requirements and related transaction documents. We also liaise with accountants, agents, landlords and other representatives where required to help the transaction progress smoothly.
Commercial Contracts
We assist with commercial contract review, drafting and negotiation for a range of business arrangements.
This may include service agreements, supply agreements, contractor agreements, consultancy agreements, distribution agreements, franchise-related agreements, licence agreements, confidentiality agreements, terms and conditions of trade, heads of agreement, memoranda of understanding and other commercial documents.
We focus on helping clients identify legal risks, clarify contractual obligations and negotiate key commercial terms before agreements are signed.
Shareholder, Partnership and Joint Venture Agreements
We assist with shareholder agreements, partnership agreements and joint venture agreements for business owners who are starting, investing in or operating a business together.
These agreements can help clarify ownership, decision-making, funding obligations, profit distribution, director and shareholder roles, exit rights, dispute procedures and what happens if the business relationship changes.
Company and Business Structuring
We assist with company matters, business structuring and ownership arrangements, including advice on company changes, business ownership, related entities and practical legal issues affecting business operations.
Where appropriate, we work alongside accountants and other advisers so clients can consider both legal and commercial aspects of their business structure.
Ongoing Business Legal Advice
We provide ongoing legal assistance for business owners dealing with contracts, negotiations, operational issues and commercial risk. Our aim is to provide clear, practical advice that supports business stability, protects client interests and helps clients make confident business decisions.
