CORPORATE GOVERNANCE LAWYER IN SYDNEY

How Can Our Corporate Governance Lawyers in Sydney Help?

Corporate governance is the cornerstone of a successful and ethical organisation. Failing to meet Australia’s corporate governance laws can lead to serious repercussions. Companies risk significant fines, costly legal disputes, and a loss of investor confidence, while directors may face personal liability, including penalties from regulators like ASIC and the ASX. Non-compliance also tarnishes your company’s reputation, undermines stakeholder trust, and can result in substantial business losses.

Our lawyers bring not only extensive experience in corporate and governance legal advice but also valuable real-world insights gained from serving as directors across various industries. This unique perspective allows our team to offer practical, effective solutions personalised to your business needs.

We can help you by:

• Acting for buyers and sellers in the sale and purchase of shares in a company
• Advising on changes to constitutions and rules, including preparing required resolutions and information statements
• Advising on ASIC requirements and processes
• Establishing new companies and trust structures
• Advising on disputes involving shareholders
• Attending and providing support to the Board at Annual General Meetings and Special General Meetings
• Advising on capital raising and share subscriptions
