Understand the next step
Explain the entity, current debts and any demands, enforcement or appointment. Ask for advice that distinguishes the company’s position from the responsibilities and interests of directors or guarantors.
Legal advice and the role of an insolvency practitioner are distinct; clarify coordination and fees.
Norwood, Glenelg, Salisbury, Marion and Elizabeth are grouped as Adelaide Metro. A listing elsewhere in the metropolitan area may not be convenient for repeated appointments, so compare location with meeting options.
For insolvency & restructuring, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant SA experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Adelaide Metro. 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.
