Areas of Corporate & Commercial Law
We Offer to Gold Coast Businesses
Buying a business
When buying a business, it is important that you are fully informed in relation to all aspects of the business you are buying. It is also essential that the terms of the purchase you have agreed to are clearly set out in a written and legally binding contract.
Our experienced Gold Coast lawyers can assist you from the beginning of the transaction to completion, including drafting and negotiating the contract, due diligence and structuring.
Business structuring and restructuring
Correct structuring from the outset before you even commence your commercial transactions are vital for protection of your assets, taxation flexibility and dealing with incoming and outgoing business partners. At KMB Legal, we work with you and your financial advisors to find the most effective and tailored structuring advice to provide you with the best legal protection for your assets..
Shareholder, Direct, Partnership and Joint Venture Agreements
Written Agreements are paramount in minimising disputes between business partners such as shareholders, partners, joint venturers, directors and unit holders. These Agreements will not only set out the rights and obligations of the parties, but it will also detail the structure of the enterprise, help protect the parties’ interests and provide guidance as to liability and dispute resolution.
Contract management, including drafting, negotiation and review
No matter the commercial transaction, a comprehensive contract setting out the rights and obligations of the parties is essential.
Operating a business often requires you to contract with third parties whether it is buying stock or supplies, leasing premises, licensing software or engaging third parties to carry out tasks in respect of your business. Having proper contractual documentation ensures transparency, provides protection, can minimise disputes and often can add value to your business.
Franchising
Franchising your business model or buying an already franchised business has numerous benefits. However, franchising a business requires an iron clad franchise agreement with no margin for error. So contact KMB Legal on the Gold Coast to ensure your intellectual property rights are safeguarded while also ensuring your franchise agreement is compliant.
Business Startups
Starting a business can be exciting and very rewarding. More and more people are pursuing entrepreneurship as an additional vehicle to earn an income. However, it’s important that your business meets legal requirements and your personal assets are well protected. KMB Legal on the Gold coast can help you with investment and liability, business structure, non-disclosure agreements, contracts, trademarks and copyright and intellectual property.
Ensure your business is set up for success with us.
Selling a business, exit strategies

Business succession planning
Appropriate succession planning for your business is vital to ensuring that the success of the business can continue should new leadership/ownership of the business occur.
