They act for companies, directors and investors on shareholder agreements, raising funds, directors' duties and buying or merging businesses.
Company structure, governance and capital raising affect control, liability and value. Errors can be costly for directors personally.
The Corporations Act 2001 governs companies, administered by ASIC. Directors owe statutory duties and can be personally liable for insolvent trading.
Understand the next step
Explain the proposed ownership, investment, acquisition or governance change. Identify all entities and stakeholders so conflicts, approvals and document responsibilities can be assessed.
Ask whether completion and post-completion tasks are included in the estimate.
In Brisbane CBD, compare the individual lawyer’s practice and the proposed scope of work. A commercial firm, family team and criminal defence practice may all be centrally located but provide very different services.
For corporate law & m&a, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant QLD experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Brisbane CBD. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Explain the transaction, amount involved, parties and desired result. Provide the current agreement and relevant entity or trust details.
Ask which risks need legal, accounting, tax or technical advice. Identify essential terms and those you are willing to negotiate.
Agree who negotiates, approves documents and tracks continuing obligations. Clarify whether post-completion advice is included.
Request a defined scope or staged budget with assumptions about document review and negotiation rounds. Personal guarantees, tax and related disputes may need separate work.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Highlight signing dates, finance conditions and demands. Raise an inability to meet debts immediately so appropriate advice can be identified before further commitments.
In Queensland, most matters start in the Magistrates Court, with serious criminal and larger civil matters in the District and Supreme Courts. Tenancy, minor civil, building and guardianship disputes go to QCAT. Solicitors hold practising certificates from the Queensland Law Society, and complaints are handled by the Legal Services Commission.
Good to know
Duties to act with care and diligence, in good faith, and not to trade while insolvent, among others under the Corporations Act.
Most matters start in the Magistrates Court. More serious cases go to the District Court or the Supreme Court of Queensland. Family law matters are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
