Company law, also known as business law and corporate law, governs how corporations are formed, operated, and ultimately ended. Put simply, this law is concerned with the rights, obligations, conduct and internal management of companies including the officeholders and members of the company. It deals with rights, the powers and responsibilities of the internal management and governance of companies, directors, shareholders and other company officeholders and members under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the company constitution (if the company has adopted a constitution), or a combination of both. The Corporations Act provides the framework that governs the conduct of all Australian companies.

In Australia, the rules that govern the internal management and the day to day operations of a company, the company officeholders and members can be found in the Replaceable Rules and the Company Constitution (if the company has adopted one), or both.
The “Replaceable Rules” are contained in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and these national rules govern the internal management and the day to day operations of a company. Whilst it is not compulsory for a company to adopt a company constitution, a private company may choose to adopt a company constitution to govern the internal governance and day to day operations of the company, which may override or amend the replaceable rules.
There are several factors to consider in order to decide which legal framework and structure will best suit your business needs. Our expert business and commercial lawyers in the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas can advise you on the best way forward for your business.
A shareholder’s agreement is a contract that outlines the relationship between the shareholders of the company. The shareholders of the company may wish to enter into a shareholders agreement to govern the rights, obligations and responsibilities of each shareholder to the other shareholders and between the shareholders and the company.
A formally adopted company constitution may override the replaceable rules under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) if it expressly states so. A shareholder’s agreement will usually override a company constitution in the event of any inconsistency. In the event that the company has not formally adopted a company constitution for the company then the shareholders agreement cannot override the replaceable rules, and the replaceable rules will prevail.

As with many areas of law, company or business law can be a complex area to navigate. There are many laws applicable to the formation of a company, its business operations, and even its insolvency. The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) regulates such matters as the formation and operation of companies, the requirements of its officeholders and members including issuing of shares, appointing company officeholders, company takeovers and insolvency.
