Commercial Law

Running a business comes with legal responsibilities at every stage. Whether you are starting out, growing, dealing with disputes, or planning an exit, the right legal advice can protect your interests and save you costly mistakes.

Commercial law covers the legal side of how businesses operate, trade, contract, and manage risk. If you are facing a commercial issue, or simply want to set your business up properly from the start, getting advice early makes a real difference.

Advisent helps you connect with experienced commercial lawyers across Australia who work with businesses of all sizes and across a wide range of industries.

What does commercial law cover?

Commercial law is broad and can apply to almost every part of running a business. Common areas include:

• Business structures and setups
• Contracts and agreements
• Buying and selling a business
• Shareholder and partnership agreements
• Corporate governance and compliance
• Director duties and obligations
• Commercial disputes and litigation
• Debt recovery
• Competition and consumer issues
• Franchising
• Intellectual property protection
• Privacy and data obligations

When should you speak to a commercial lawyer?

You do not need to wait until something goes wrong to get legal advice. Many business owners first speak to a commercial lawyer when they are already in a dispute or facing pressure from another party. In many cases, earlier advice could have prevented the issue altogether.

You should consider speaking to a commercial lawyer if you are:

• Starting a new business
• Bringing on a partner or investor
• Buying or selling a business
• Concerned about your legal obligations as a director
• Facing regulatory attention or enforcement action

Even a short, early conversation can help you understand your risks and your options.
