Advisory Services

Advisory for complex commercial arrangements

Not every deal is a buy or sell. Some moments are messier; a business partnership under strain, a restructure in motion, a shareholder falling out.  You’re making big decisions that will shape your future. 

We advise clients at pivotal moments of change, offering sharp legal insight that cuts through complexity and supports commercial outcomes.

Here’s how we help in the moments that matter

Shareholder & Joint Venture Arrangements

We draft, review and advise on shareholder agreements, unit holder deeds and JV structures, making sure the terms are fair, workable and aligned to your goals.

Business Restructures & Equity Movements

Whether you’re onboarding a new business partner, realigning ownership or splitting a structure, we help you do it cleanly and with foresight.

Exit & Succession Planning

When it’s time to hand over the reins, we help clarify responsibilities, set realistic terms and avoid disputes, so you can exit or transition with confidence.

Commercial & Investment Structures

From setting up holding entities to navigating shareholder onboardings and exits, we provide the legal structure to support your commercial intent.

Dispute Prevention & Negotiation Support

We help de-escalate tensions before you lose control. Strategic input on commercial disagreements, deadlocks or boardroom friction so issues get resolved, not inflamed.

Who we work with

Big changes need the right legal foundation

Restructures. Ownership shifts. Disputes on the rise. These moments rarely come with a roadmap, but the choices you make now shape what comes next.

Clients bring us in when the stakes are high, and the path isn’t clear. They want a legal partner who can cut through the noise, guide decisions with confidence and prevent costly missteps.

These are the thoughts that keep clients up at night:

From first conversation to the final outcome, we help you take control, stay strategic and move forward with a clear head, even when the pressure is on.

Big-firm expertise. Boutique focus.

Let’s Talk.

You don’t need all the answers. Just a partner who knows where to look.  Whether it’s a restructure, impending dispute or long-overdue agreement, we’ll help you get the clarity and protection you need.
