Key Commercial & Corporate Services Offered by Hentys Lawyers
Contractual Advice and Disputes
Contracts are the foundation of any business relationship, defining rights, responsibilities, and protections for all the parties involved. At Hentys Lawyers, we provide meticulous contract drafting, review, and advisory services to ensure that our clients’ contracts are both enforceable and advantageous.
In contractual disputes, Hentys strives to resolve issues as efficiently as possible through negotiation or mediation. If litigation becomes necessary, our team has the knowledge and experience to successfully represent clients in court. Our team handles a range of disputes, from breaches of contract to disagreements over terms, providing clarity and guidance throughout the process.
Policies, Compliance, and Director Duties
In order to thrive withing the legal and regulatory framework in Australia corporate governance is essential. Hentys Lawyers works closely with companies to establish policies and compliance programs that align with legal standards and best practices. This includes guidance on developing employee handbooks, anti-discrimination policies, and data privacy measures.
We also advise company directors on their legal duties, ensuring that they fulfil their obligations in a way that protects both the business and its stakeholders. Our services help directors understand their responsibilities, minimise risks, and make informed decisions that support long-term success.
Commercial Litigation, Shareholder Disputes, and Company Suppression
Disputes are an inevitable aspect of business, and when they arise, companies need a trusted legal partner to advocate for their interests. Hentys Lawyers offers representation in commercial litigation, including disputes involving shareholders, partners, and third parties. We have a strong track record in managing shareholder disputes, from disagreements over dividends to conflicts related to corporate governance.
In cases of company suppression, where business actions negatively impact shareholder interests, we work diligently to defend clients’ rights and seek fair resolutions. We aim to provide strategic support to help clients resolve conflicts with minimal disruption to their operations.
Building and Construction, Commercial, and Landlord Property Dispute
The building and construction sector is highly regulated, with numerous legal requirements that impact projects of all sizes. Hentys Lawyers assists clients in understanding and, if necessary, addressing disputes related to construction contracts, project delays, defect claims, and payment issues. Our experience in this field ensures that clients receive accurate, practical advice for addressing conflicts efficiently.
In addition, we support commercial landlords facing disputes with tenants, advising on lease agreements, rent disputes, and property maintenance issues. We help our clients protect their investments while maintaining compliance with legal standards.
Business Purchase and Sales
Buying or selling a business is a complex process that requires careful legal consideration. Hentys Lawyers provides comprehensive support for clients on both sides of these transactions, from conducting due diligence to negotiating terms and finalising contracts. Our team identifies potential risks and ensures that our clients are well-informed, allowing them to make confident decisions throughout the process.
Our business acquisition and sale services also include advising on the transfer of assets, intellectual property, and employees, helping clients manage every aspect of the transaction with precision and foresight.
