Contracts are at the centre of many business and property transactions.
Whether purchasing land, entering a supply agreement, negotiating a commercial arrangement or preparing a loan document, the wording of the legal documents can have significant consequences.
Wilson & Morgan Law provides conveyancing, commercial drafting and general drafting services to clients.
Conveyancing
Property transactions can involve much more than signing an agreement.
The firm’s profile identifies services including sales, purchases, mortgages, charges, leases, subleases, rights of occupancy, easements and licences.
These transactions may also require title searches, government approvals, landlord consents, tax clearances, municipal rates clearance certificates, stamping and registration.
Commercial Agreements
Businesses regularly enter into agreements with customers, suppliers, distributors, agents and other commercial partners.
Examples include:
- Sales agency agreements
- Marketing agency agreements
- Distribution agreements
- Long-term supply agreements
- Franchise agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
- Non-compete agreements
- Contract hire agreements
Clear drafting helps establish what each party is expected to do and what happens if obligations are not fulfilled.
Due Diligence
Before completing a transaction, it is often important to verify the relevant facts and documents.
Legal due diligence can help identify issues that might otherwise become problems after completion.
Good Drafting Protects Relationships
A well-drafted agreement does more than record a deal. It establishes expectations and provides a framework for dealing with potential disagreements.
For businesses and individuals entering important transactions, professional legal drafting can therefore be an important investment.
