Better yet, we’ll also negotiate the terms of your lease to help you get the best possible outcome for your business.
• Heads of agreement, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements — Leave your business's personal and confidential information in the hands of experts. We’ll manage all proposed agreements between you and your partners, plus ensure certain information remains private.

• Supply of goods or services agreements — If your business is responsible for the distribution of goods or services, we can regulate the agreements and make sure all obligations are met between your business, your suppliers and any other parties.
• Manufacturing, distribution and drop-ship agreements — For businesses involved in the manufacturing industry, your commercial lawyer in Brisbane can draft, manage and review the legally binding agreements between your business and manufacturers.

• Website terms and conditions and privacy policy — Outlining the fine print for your business not only does right by your customers, but it could also be a legal requirement for your industry. Let our team manage and draft compliant policies for your website.
• Limitation of liability waivers — Our commercial lawyers will investigate all risk areas of your business and devise a comprehensive liability waiver to safeguard your business and employees from potential and unnecessary legal disputes.
• Loan, mortgage, guarantee and indemnity documents — Whether you’re looking to apply for a loan, take out a mortgage or use any other form of credit financing, we can review your loan terms to ensure they’re in the best interest of your business.

Is an ADVIILAW commercial lawyer the same as a corporate lawyer?

Not exactly. Although commercial law and corporate law do overlap, commercial law tends to be more concerned with transactions and commercial trading. This may cover anything from business transactions between individuals through to complex acquisitions.

By contrast, corporate law is more focused on governance and regulation surrounding businesses. These are factors that can come into play as part of commercial litigation — particularly around situations such as large-scale mergers and acquisitions — but on a day to day basis, they tend to be fairly separate entities.

What are the types of commercial law ADVIILAW practices?

At ADVIILAW, we can handle just about any type of commercial law including commercial litigation. Whether you’re looking at starting a business with a partner, starting a franchise, looking to be bought out, or any other situation, our team can point you in the right direction.
